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

Zone A of the Primera Nacional is red-hot after most of the matchday was completed. Although Colón still holds third place in the table with 45 points, the defeat suffered in Córdoba set off alarm bells: the teams chasing them are closing in dangerously on their position, and the competition’s two leaders are beginning to stretch the gap at the top to a worrying extent.

With the round still awaiting its final match, which will take place this Monday at 7:00 p.m. between Los Andes and Acassuso—where the Milrayitas could climb into the last playoff spot and push out Estudiantes de Buenos Aires—the picture at the top of the table has become extremely tight. At the same time, Gimnasia de Jujuy and Agropecuario will wrap up the scheduled action for Zone B.

The teams at the top are pulling away

Ferro Carril Oeste strengthened its hold at 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 team still in pursuit is Deportivo Morón, which reached 49 points. The Gallito beat San Miguel 2-1 at the Francisco Urbano in a controversy-filled match, marked by an own goal and a debatable penalty not awarded to the home side that had everyone talking over the weekend.

Colón slipped up and is feeling the pressure

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

Behind Iván Delfino’s team, the battle to make the playoff spots is relentless:
