Colón’s huge win over Racing (C) sends them clear at the top | OneFootball

In a fiery match with a finals-like atmosphere, El Sabalero defeated Racing de Córdoba 1-0 thanks to a penalty by Nacho Lago. Medrán’s team knew how to suffer, made the most of its moment, and now leads the group with 17 points.

From the start, Colón came out looking to impose itself, trying to hurt the opposition with a header from Bonansea and Lértora’s presence in the opposing box. However, the visitors were no pushovers and came within inches of spoiling the night when Machado hit a “penalty in motion” off the post against a Tomás Paredes who was making his first appearance of the year with plenty of responsibility on his shoulders.

In the second half, 14 minutes in, youngster Conrado Ibarra, who was back playing at left back, burst into the box at speed and was brought down: a crystal-clear penalty. A minute later, Nacho Lago stepped up with absolute composure to make it 1-0 for good, sparking madness in the stands.

From then on, Colón rolled up its sleeves. It withstood the attempts of a Racing side that changed things from the bench (including Centurión being shown a yellow card from off the field) and sealed a win that leaves it on 17 points, alone at the top of Zone A. El Sabalero is more of a leader than ever.
