Zone A is on fire: Ferro thrashed but stay top, and Colón? | OneFootball

Matchday 22 of Zone A made it clear that in the Primera Nacional, no one has success guaranteed. The standout story of the round was the stumble of the leader, Ferro Carril Oeste (43 points), whose winning run was halted with a 4-0 loss to its closest pursuer, Deportivo Morón (38 points). In this way, the “Gallo” confirmed its second-place standing and added suspense to the battle for first place in the zone.

The round could have been catastrophic for Ferro, but other results went in its favor. Colón let a golden opportunity slip to join the direct conversation after falling 1-0 to Chaco For Ever, remaining stuck in third place with 35 points. Bolívar, however, did its job; with a 2-1 win over Estudiantes de Buenos Aires (8th with 31 points), it climbed to fourth place with 34 points and is establishing itself as a serious contender at the top.

The battle to get into the Reducido (from 2nd to 8th place) is heating up. Almirante Brown earned a valuable point with a scoreless draw (0-0) away to Mitre, moving into sixth place with 32 points. On that same points line, Godoy Cruz climbed to seventh place with 32 points thanks to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Central Norte. With these results, the gap among the pack chasing promotion is shrinking, setting up a season finish not for the faint of heart.
