The referee who brings Colón no luck: Zamora's poor record pre-Patronato

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

Although the history with Daniel Zamora is brief, the recent precedents create a sense of concern in the Sabalero camp. In the two previous matches officiated by him, Colón failed to secure a win:

Argentine Cup: The first meeting was in Rafaela against San Martín de Tucumán. After a goalless draw in regular time, the Red-and-Black side was eliminated in the penalty shootout, losing 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 battle at the top, the Sabalero will look this Sunday to break Zamora’s “curse” and bring back a vital victory from Paraná.
