Colón slip a place after Ferro draw at Racing in Córdoba | OneFootball

Racing de Córdoba drew 0-0 against Ferro Carril Oeste this Friday at the Miguel Sancho stadium, in the match that opened round 16 of the Primera Nacional.

It was a dull match, with few thrills and very few dangerous chances. Racing had a slight edge early on and created the two clearest opportunities of the night, but once again showed one of its main shortcomings this season: a lack of penetration in the final third.

The Córdoba side showed defensive organization and solidity to avoid any major scares, although it struggled to create attacking moves and ended up looking predictable going forward.

Ferro suffered in the opening minutes, but as the match went on it managed to level things out and grew in confidence. In the second half, it matched the flow of play and ultimately left a better impression than its opponent.

One of Racing’s concerns was the departure of Ricardo Centurión. The midfielder did not return for the second half due to discomfort in his hamstring and was replaced by Fernando Ortiz.

In the final minutes, driven by the need to get the win, Racing pushed its lines forward and left spaces that Ferro tried to exploit on the counterattack. However, the Caballito side was also lacking precision in front of goal, and the score remained unchanged.

The draw left negative feelings in Nueva Italia. At the end of the match, a large part of the home crowd expressed its dissatisfaction with whistles and jeers aimed at the players.

In addition, the team’s current form once again puts the coaching duo of Ramiro Torres and Pablo Motta under scrutiny, as their spell in charge is going through a moment of growing uncertainty after another match without a win.

With this result, Racing remains far from the top spots in Zone A (with 16 points from 15 matches, sitting 13th in Zone A) and will have to look for a quick recovery when it visits All Boys in the next round.

With this match, the Nueva Italia side has now gone six games without a win.

Ferro is third with 25 points, the same number as leaders Morón, although with an inferior goal difference.

With this result, tomorrow Colón will take the field in fifth place against Almirante Brown.
