The day history changed: five years since Colón’s title roar | OneFootball

June 4, 2021, was etched in history as the most important milestone in the story of Club Atlético Colón. That late afternoon-evening at the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario, the Sabalero side broke a curse of more than a century of waiting and were crowned champions of the Copa de la Liga Profesional after thrashing Racing Club 3-0 in the grand final.

That cry held back for generations was finally unleashed at exactly 8:54 p.m., when referee Néstor Pitana blew for full time. Despite the restrictions of the time that forced the match to be played behind closed doors, the popular upheaval quickly spilled into the streets of Santa Fe with endless caravans and celebrations that lasted for days. On the pitch, the team led by Eduardo Domínguez delivered a true display of solidity, authority, and football, dominating from start to finish to win a thoroughly deserved title that now shines proudly as a star above the red-and-black crest.
