Eight years on from Colón's historic win at Morumbi v São Paulo | OneFootball

On August 2, 2018, Colón earned one of the most important victories in its rich history, defeating São Paulo at the legendary Morumbi and becoming the first Argentine team to beat them at that stadium. The winning goal in the 1-0 victory was scored by Matías Fritzler with a tremendous strike from outside the box that is still being celebrated today.

“I’ve watched the goal quite a few times (laughs). People keep sending it to me and sending lots of greetings. Right now we’re trying to get a little rest, obviously enjoying it, but staying calm.” That was Matías Fritzler, scorer of the goal with which Colón defeated Brazil’s São Paulo 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 32, played at the Morumbi.

“We didn’t know until after the match. That’s true. It’s a fact that perhaps adds a little more to what was achieved. It’s important and nice. It’s just a statistic that will remain forever on paper. Now we have to think about continuing to work, because we still have a long road ahead,” Matías Fritzler emphasized after Colón’s historic victory over São Paulo.
