Where Colón stand after Primera Nacional matchday 29 | OneFootball

The close of Matchday 29 of the Primera Nacional gave Colón a bit of relief in an increasingly complicated situation. Deportivo Madryn’s 2-1 loss to Defensores de Belgrano prevented the Aurinegro from extending its lead in the standings, allowing the Santa Fe side to remain within striking distance. This match was followed very closely in Santa Fe, since the Sabalero needed Madryn to stumble in order to avoid falling further behind.

Colón’s situation in the standings

With all the results in, Colón sits in sixth place in Zone A with 45 points. If the championship ended today, the team would qualify for the Reducido, but it would be forced to play the playoffs without home-field advantage, a key factor in the decisive stages.

While Ferro and Deportivo Morón are establishing themselves as the main contenders at the top of the table, Colón’s reality has taken a dramatic turn. After suffering three straight defeats, the team coached by Iván Delfino has gone from fighting for the top spot to urgently needing to regain ground in order to secure a better matchup in the Reducido.

Getting back to controlling its own fate

Although the defeat of a direct rival gave them crucial help, the situation leaves a clear lesson: outside help will not last forever. With the final stretch of the tournament underway, Colón no longer has any margin for error. The Sabalero needs to start winning again immediately if it hopes to qualify in a more favorable position, as the room for dropping more points along the way has run out.
