Leaders relentless: Acassuso win big, await Colón at the top | OneFootball

Colón is already taking note. In a thrilling match for the third round of the Primera Nacional, Acassuso defeated San Telmo 3-2 as visitors, a result that catapults them to the top of the Zone A standings. The “Quemero” showed remarkable resilience, a factor that the Santa Fe team will need to keep in mind for the upcoming clash.

The match started off tough for the Sabalero’s next opponent, as San Telmo quickly took the lead with goals from Juan Motroni at the 3rd minute and Martín Batallini at the 12th minute of the first half. However, Acassuso didn’t panic and, before halftime, managed to level the score thanks to a brace from Ramiro Reynoso, who scored at the 43rd and 46th minutes of the opening period.

In the second half, the team now leading the group made their greater ball possession (54%) and the effectiveness of their attacks count. At the 35th minute of the second half, David Escalante sealed the final 3-2. With just 3 shots on target throughout the match, the San Isidro side showed lethal efficiency, taking three golden points from the Osvaldo Baletto stadium that leave them as the sole leaders.

For Colón, the key takeaway lies in the offensive danger posed by their rival and their disciplined order, as Acassuso finished the match without any players sent off and only two bookings. Before the clash with the rojinegro, the leader will have to reaffirm their position against San Miguel next Saturday, but in the Barrio Centenario camp, it’s already clear that the duel against “Ssuso” will be a true test for the top of the championship.
