Ferro and Morón lead Zone A, but Colón thrash and eye the play-offs | OneFootball

The interzonal round of the Primera Nacional left the promotion race red-hot. With Ferro Carril Oeste’s big win to strengthen its hold on the top spot and Deportivo Morón’s victory as runner-up, the focus of the matchday shifted to Colón, who thrashed their opponent convincingly at the Brigadier López and firmly climbed onto the podium in the standings.

El Sabalero stood strong at home

Colón defeated Patronato 3-0 in Santa Fe and climbed to third place with 42 points. The Sabalero side not only showed its superiority in the regional derby, but also closed the gap on the leaders, sitting just two points behind Morón and seven behind the leader, Ferro. However, the Santa Fe team cannot relax, as its closest pursuers still have key matches to play.
