Perfect run for Delfino at Colón, six from six after thrashing Patronato | OneFootball

El Sabalero beat Patronato 3-0 at the Brigadier López stadium in another round of the Primera Nacional. Iván Delfino’s team managed to take the lead right at the end of the first half and then extended the advantage after the break.

Colón had their first chance after 10 minutes, when a cross from the left found Emanuel Gárate inside the box. The striker jumped to try to meet it with a header, but he was thrown off balance by a defender and couldn’t get to the ball comfortably.

Patronato responded on the counterattack and, for several stretches, managed to trouble the Santa Fe side. In the 21st minute, a cross from the right found Soldano, whose shot lacked power and allowed Matías Budiño to gather it without trouble.

A minute later, a defensive mistake left Diego Díaz one-on-one with Colón’s goalkeeper. Budiño came out quickly, closed the angle well, and managed to claim the ball to prevent the visitors from scoring.

Given his team’s shaky start, Iván Delfino decided to reshuffle quickly. In the 28th minute, the coach sent Jerónimo Buosi onto the field in place of Leandro Allende, looking to change how El Sabalero was functioning.

When everything seemed to indicate that the first half would end goalless, Agustín Toledo appeared. In the final play of the half, the midfielder unleashed a spectacular shot from outside the box that rose up, hit the crossbar, and ended up going into the goal defended by Sosa.

In this way, Colón went into halftime with a 1-0 lead thanks to a true screamer from Toledo, in a first half where Patronato had the clearest chances.

In the second half, El Sabalero took advantage of the momentum from the goal and managed to impose themselves to widen the gap. With greater attacking efficiency, Colón found the necessary spaces and ended up building a convincing 3-0 victory over the Entre Ríos side. Ignacio Lago, the standout player of the match, scored the second and assisted Muñoz, who headed in the final 3-0.

As the icing on the cake, Ignacio Lago nutmegged an opponent and got Meritello sent off, after he brought him down with a very hard foul.
