The stat revealing why Colón struggle in Primera Nacional this season | OneFootball

Colón suffered its third consecutive defeat, the seventh in the last eight matches, during which they scored only one goal. With one point, they escape, but they could still be safe even without adding more points.

Colón’s current situation is alarming: in the last eight matches, they managed to score just one goal, Ignacio Lago’s in the 1-1 draw against Chacarita, a match that marked Ezequiel Medrán’s debut as coach. After that debut, the net has eluded the Sabalero, who have accumulated seven defeats in that span.

The negative streak included losses against Gimnasia de Mendoza (2-0), Gimnasia de Jujuy (4-0), Agropecuario (1-0), San Telmo (1-0), Defensores de Belgrano (1-0), Estudiantes de Río Cuarto (1-0) and Talleres de Remedios de Escalada (2-0). Beyond the lack of goals, the most worrying fact is the defensive fragility: the team from Santa Fe conceded 12 goals in that period and never managed to keep a clean sheet.

Now, the calendar shows that Colón will close the season with three key fixtures:

Deportivo Morón, this Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Brigadier López stadium.

Colón, with one point or hoping their rivals don’t win

The standings offer some relief: the Sabalero needs just one point to mathematically secure their place in the Primera Nacional. In fact, even if they lose all three matches, they could achieve their goal if certain results go their way with their direct rivals.

However, the outstanding issue is on the footballing side: Colón can’t find answers in attack and is going through one of the toughest droughts in its recent history. With a battered squad and a coach still trying to give the team an identity, the priority is to secure their place in the division, but concerns about performance go far beyond the simple numerical objective.
