The referee who brings Colón no luck: Zamora’s poor omen v Patronato

This Sunday, starting at 4:00 p.m., Colón will face a real test at the Presbítero Bartolomé Grella stadium. The clash against Patronato, corresponding to Matchday 7 of the interzonal round in the Primera Nacional, not only demands that the Santa Fe side improve its image on the road, but also puts it in front of a referee under whom it has yet to celebrate.

Although the history with Daniel Zamora is short, the recent background sets off alarm bells in the Sabalero camp. In the two previous matches officiated by him, Colón failed to win:

Argentine Cup: The first meeting was in Rafaela against San Martín de Tucumán. After a scoreless draw in regular time, the Rojinegro was eliminated in the penalty shootout, 3-1.
Primera Nacional: The second precedent came in Mataderos against Nueva Chicago. In a tight match, Colón lost 1-0 with a goal from Ignacio Rodríguez.

With the urgent need to take all three points to firmly join the fight at the top, the Sabalero will look this Sunday to break Zamora’s “curse” and bring back a vital win from Paraná.
