Colón outclassed by Estudiantes de Tucumán in Argentina | OneFootball

In a new round of the North Conference of the Argentine League, Colón de Santa Fe suffered a tough setback by losing at home to Estudiantes de Tucumán 85 to 66. The Tucumán team, which came in bruised after a defeat in Gálvez, managed to recover quickly thanks to a solid and collective game. Meanwhile, the team led by Leandro Spies felt the absence of González and, after a balanced first quarter, was overwhelmed by the intensity of the visitors, who dominated both in the painted area and on the perimeter.

The development of the match showed a very effective Tucumán "Zebra," supported by five players who reached double digits in scoring. The superiority of Estudiantes was based on fluid ball circulation (20 assists) and total control of the rebounds (44-36), factors that allowed them to neutralize the main offensive weapons of the "Sabalero," such as Bautista Fernández and Hans Feder Ponce. Despite the effort of Feder Ponce, the local team's top scorer with 19 points, Colón never found the formula to stop their rival's interior dominance.

Despite the defeat, Colón's outlook at the bottom of the table was not entirely negative due to other results. The losses of their direct rivals, Huracán de Las Heras and Fusión Riojana in their respective matches, give the Santa Fe team a small respite in their struggle to climb from the bottom.
