VIDEO | The penalty for Colón that Juan Cruz Robledo gave at once | OneFootball

Iván Delfino’s debut at the Brigadier López was unlocked thanks to a decisive play in the visitors’ box. As the match entered its final stretch and the Sabalero struggled to find a way to break the deadlock, the day’s biggest controversy and the release of tension arrived.

Thirty minutes into the second half, the match referee, Juan Cruz Robledo, did not hesitate to point to the penalty spot in favor of Colón. The decision was unquestionable: a clear handball by a San Telmo defender inside the box interrupted the ball’s path, stopping the home side’s attack.

Despite the protests from the «Candombero» squad, the infringement was obvious. Three minutes later, after the usual arguments, Ignacio «Nacho» Lago stepped up and confidently converted the penalty to make it 1-0 and open a scoreline that would ultimately prove decisive. Thanks to that crucial handball spotted by the referee, Colón took three key points at the start of a new era.
