Midfield lock: Medrán could use a triple pivot for Colón v Patronato

For the next match against Patronato, Ezequiel Medrán is planning a major tactical shift at Colón, aiming to correct the weaknesses that were exposed in the last round.

The “Triple 5” gamble

The coach is seriously considering packing the midfield with Federico Lértora, Ignacio Antonio, and Matías Muñoz. The goal is to gain more physical presence and defensive balance, taking advantage of the fact that Medrán already knows the Antonio-Muñoz duo well from his time at Gimnasia de Mendoza, while adding Lértora’s experience and stature.

Context: The defeat against San Telmo

El Sabalero comes into this match reeling after a 3-1 loss to San Telmo at Isla Maciel last Sunday, March 22.

Defensive fragility: Colón struggled badly in transitions and on set pieces.
The pullback goal: Alan Bonansea scored to make it 2-1 at one point, but the team’s own mistakes kept them from rescuing at least a point.
Tense atmosphere: The match was delayed for nearly an hour after a fan in the stands suffered a medical episode, cooling the tempo of the game at a key moment.
