Colón’s curious scoring streak, with the midfielders leading the way | OneFootball

Colón is going through a renewed spell since Iván Delfino’s arrival. El Sabalero has earned three consecutive wins and reached 45 points, drawing level with Deportivo Morón and staying in the fight for the top spots in Zone A of the Primera Nacional.

Beyond the efficiency shown in those matches, there is one statistic that especially stands out: Colón scored six goals in its last three appearances, averaging two per game, but none of them was scored by a striker.

The main protagonists were the midfielders. Agustín Toledo contributed two goals, while Federico Lértora and Matías Muñoz scored one each. The other two goals were scored by Ignacio Lago, who also converted a penalty against San Telmo.

The situation offers a twofold analysis for the red-and-black side. On the one hand, it is positive that the midfielders are getting into the opposition box and contributing goals at different moments in matches. However, the strikers’ lack of efficiency also emerges as an area to improve, especially considering that against San Miguel, Delfino opted for two central attacking references in Leandro Garate and Alan Bonansea.

In any case, the statistic comes within a favorable moment for Colón. The team managed to recover, picked up nine points in a row, and put itself back in contention. Now, the challenge will be to maintain the streak and also get the forwards to contribute their share of goals in the upcoming matches.
