Colón sweep past Jujuy Básquet and celebrate at Roque Otrino | OneFootball

The bad streak is over for Colón, as they secured a great victory by 89-67 at home, marking their second consecutive win and showing character.

Colón smiled again in front of their fans at the Roque Otrino. The team from Santa Fe authoritatively defeated Jujuy Básquet by 89 to 67, achieving their second consecutive victory in this 2026 and leaving positive signs through collective play, defensive intensity, and the ability to react at key moments of the match.

The team led by Leandro Spies built their success from a dominant second quarter, where they managed to impose conditions on both ends of the court. With a very effective zone defense and good decisions on offense, the red and black team distanced themselves from a rival that showed great difficulties in outside shooting, especially from 6.75 meters. This superiority allowed Colón to go into the break with an advantage and emotional control of the game, managing the pace and taking advantage of the visitor's turnovers.

The development changed in the third period. Jujuy Básquet adjusted their defense and found a burst of effectiveness from the perimeter, with five consecutive three-pointers that brought them fully into the game. At times, the visitors even took the lead, creating uncertainty in the stadium. However, Colón did not lose their composure. Far from feeling the impact, the team from Santa Fe showed temperance and collective solidity, maintained defensive intensity, and waited for their moment to strike back.

Colón's Demolishing Last Quarter

The closing was all Sabalero. With a 32-12 run in the last quarter, Colón overpowered their opponent, regained control of the game, and ended up dazzling their fans. The pressure on the ball, offensive circulation, and effectiveness in open shots made the difference in the decisive stretch.

Individually, Joaquín Fernández (21 points) and Hans Feder Ponce (20) stood out as top scorers, well accompanied by Bautista Fernández and Germán González, both with 16 points, in a distributed and efficient offensive production.

The night also left a special note: the debut of the young player from Esperanza, Franco Mierke, who played his first minutes in the red and black jersey, a sign of the club's ongoing work with its youth divisions. With this victory, Colón gains momentum and is already thinking about their next challenge: Sunday, February 2, when they visit Comunicaciones de Mercedes, aiming to continue consolidating their recovery in the competition.
