Perfect run for Iván Delfino at Colón: six from six, Patronato thrashed | OneFootball

El Sabalero defeated 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 in the second.

Colón had their first chance after 10 minutes, when a cross from the left found Emanuel Gárate inside the box. The forward jumped to try to head it, but a defender threw him off balance and he couldn’t make clean contact with the ball.

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, who struck it without much power and allowed Matías Budiño to gather comfortably.

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

Faced with his team’s poor start, Iván Delfino decided to shuffle the deck early. 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.

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

That way, Colón went into halftime with a 1-0 lead thanks to a true screamer from Toledo, in a first half where Patronato had 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 win over the Entre Ríos side. Ignacio Lago, the standout player of the match, scored the second and assisted Muñoz, who headed home to make it 3-0.

As the cherry on top, Ignacio Lago nutmegged his man and got Meritello sent off, as he brought him down with a very hard foul.
