Emergency fix: Ibarra’s injury sets up Lago for the goal | OneFootball

The victory against Acassuso left a bittersweet taste in the Sabalero World. Although Colón secured three vital points, the infirmary welcomed a new member: Conrado Ibarra, who raised alarms due to a muscle injury that could sideline him for the next match.

A bet that didn’t last long

Ezequiel Medrán surprised everyone by starting Ibarra in place of Julián Marcioni, also moving Ignacio Lago to the right wing. However, the tactical plan fell apart ten minutes into the second half, when the young player felt a twinge in his left hamstring and had to leave the field.

The substitution that brought the goal

Paradoxically, Ibarra’s misfortune forced the move that unlocked the match. With Darío Sarmiento coming on for the right, Lago returned to his natural habitat on the left. Just three minutes later, “Nacho” took advantage of his usual position to score the stunning goal that gave the win to the Negro.

Sabalero Hospital: Concern ahead of San Telmo

Ibarra’s absence seems certain for next Sunday’s visit at 16:00 against San Telmo. His name joins a list of muscle injuries that already includes Matías Godoy and Marcioni, complicating the formation of the attack.

Decisive week at the Training Ground

The squad resumes practice this Monday at the 4 de Junio Training Ground. All eyes will be on the medical staff: Medrán’s priority is to recover Marcioni or Godoy to fill the gap left by Ibarra and avoid having to improvise in Isla Maciel.
