Pier Barrios, Colón’s rock: stats that show his defensive leadership | OneFootball

While Colón is already focusing all its firepower on Saturday’s visit to Morón at 3:30 p.m. for Matchday 10 of the Primera Nacional, traces of the last win that fuels hope still remain. Among those high points, there is one that keeps repeating itself quietly, but with undeniable forcefulness.

Pier Barrios once again delivered a commanding performance at the Brigadier López against Racing de Córdoba. Another one in a run that is beginning to set a trend in the team’s defensive solidity. The fact is no small one: Colón kept another clean sheet, and a large part of that security starts at the back. There, Barrios stands out consistently, with game reading and a presence that organizes the entire defensive block.
