Colón’s unusual scoring run, with midfielders taking centre stage | OneFootball

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

Beyond the effectiveness shown in these matches, there is one fact that stands out in particular: Colón scored six goals in its last three outings, averaging two per game, but none of them was scored by a forward.

The main figures 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 of the matches. However, the lack of efficiency from the forwards also emerges as an issue to improve, especially considering that against San Miguel, Delfino opted for two penalty-box references such as Leandro Garate and Alan Bonansea.

In any case, the stat comes in the context of a favorable moment for Colón. The team managed to recover, picked up nine consecutive points, and put itself back in the race. Now, the challenge will be to keep the run going and also get the attackers to contribute their share of goals in the upcoming matches.
