They lose every big one: Colón paid for errors, 2-1 to Morón | OneFootball

On a bitter afternoon for the Sabalero faithful, Colón suffered a hard setback at home after falling 2-1 to Deportivo Morón at the Brigadier General Estanislao López Stadium. The visitors were clinical with the few chances they created in the first half and managed to withstand the red-and-black surge in a second half where the home side’s push was not enough to salvage a draw.

An even start undone by El Gallito’s efficiency

The opening minutes showed an intense and evenly contested match. Both teams tried to take control of midfield, although chances on goal were scarce and there was no clear dominant side. As the clock ticked on, Colón threatened with a clear effort from Franco García that came very close to breaking the deadlock, but Morón responded quickly from a set piece with a dangerous free kick from Joaquín Livera that beat the wall and went just over the crossbar guarded by Budiño.

When the match had become more hard-fought and physical, the visitors struck first. In the 35th minute, Mateo Levato met a precise cross into the box and beat Budiño with a header to make it 1-0. The blow unsettled Colón, and in stoppage time they suffered another stab: in the 46th minute, Gonzalo Berterame capitalized on a lapse in defense to extend the lead and send Morón into halftime with a surprising 2-0 advantage.

The Sabalero response and a goal that reignited hope

With the urgency of turning the story around, Colón’s coach went to the bench before the start of the second half, sending on Agustín Toledo and Leandro Garate in place of Ignacio Antonio and Julián Marcioni. The changes gave the red-and-black attack a different dynamic, and the response was not long in coming.

Just after the second half began, Alan Bonansea latched onto a powerful cross from García in the six-yard box and buried the ball to pull one back (1-2), firing up the stands at the Brigadier López. With the goal in their favor, Colón pinned back their rival with intensity and turned the match into a constant end-to-end battle. However, even though the game became wide open, a lack of sharpness in the final blow prevented the home side from converting their dangerous chances.

Late pressure, final changes, and an empty-handed finish

In the final minutes, the coaching staff used all their attacking cards with the introductions of Conrado Ibarra and Darío Sarmiento to freshen up the flanks and throw the team forward. The referee added five minutes of suffering, but Morón’s defensive block held firm against Colón’s crosses until the final whistle.

With this result, Colón were left empty-handed at home after being unable to recover from their poor start in the first half, missing a key chance to take all three points in front of their fans.
