Zone A as it stands: Ferro and Morón pull away, Colón wobble in third | OneFootball

The ZoneA of the PrimeraNacional is red-hot after the bulk of the matchday was completed. While Colón still holds third place in the table with 45 points, the defeat suffered in Córdoba set off alarm bells: the chasing pack is drawing dangerously close to its position, and the competition’s two leaders are starting to widen the gap at the top in worrying fashion.

With the final match of the round still to be played this Monday at 7:00 p.m., when Los Andes face Acassuso —where the Milrayitas could climb into the last playoff spot and push out Estudiantes de BuenosAires—, the picture at the top of the table has become extremely tight. At the same time, Gimnasia de Jujuy and Agropecuario will complete the scheduled action for Zone B.

FerroCarrilOeste strengthened its grip on the top of the championship. The Verdolaga drew 2-2 in Caseros against Estudiantes in a thrilling match, a result that allows them to look down on everyone else from the summit with 53 points, leaving the Pincha in eighth place in the standings.

The only immediate challenger is DeportivoMorón, which reached 49 points. The Gallito beat San Miguel 2-1 at the FranciscoUrbano in a controversy-filled clash, marked by an own goal and a highly debated penalty not awarded to the home side that had everyone talking over the weekend.

The Sabalero never found its footing throughout the 90 minutes in NuevaItalia and ended up paying dearly for a collective lapse. A lethal counterattack that went completely unnoticed by the Santa Fe defenders left goalkeeper MatíasBudiño forced to come off his line too late to stop the move. The play resulted in a penalty that Racing de Córdoba converted into the winning goal, leaving Colón stuck on 45 points.
