Ignacio Lago after draw with Estudiantes: analysis and stay confirmed | OneFootball

Colón striker and standout player Ignacio Lago made a statement that will go over well in the Sabalero world after the 1-1 draw against Estudiantes de Buenos Aires. The forward confirmed that next Tuesday he will sign his contract renewal with the Sabalero.

After the match played in Caseros, the red-and-black No. 10 and goalscorer analyzed the game, lamented how the victory slipped away, and also spoke about his future with the club.

“We dropped our intensity and let our guard down, and they punished us. It was similar to what happened at Los Andes; unconsciously we sat back,” Lago said.

The forward also stressed the demands of wearing the Sabalero shirt in the Primera Nacional: “We understand that we are at the biggest club in the division, one that demands you go out to win wherever you play.”

Regarding the second half, the player felt the team managed to settle in better as the minutes went by. “They started with more energy, then they faded, and that gave us the chance to play a little more,” he said.

Ignacio Lago will stay at Colón

Beyond the football analysis, the big news came when Lago confirmed that his continuity at Colón is practically assured.

“I spoke with him (José Alonso), and he told me we’d meet during the week. God willing, everything is already set and I’ll sign on Tuesday,” the forward revealed.

He also made it clear that his desire was always to remain at the red-and-black club: “It’s what I wanted. I always made my desire to stay clear since the beginning of the year. We looked for what would benefit both sides. I want to give back for what Colón gave me.”

The player will extend his deal through December 2027.
