Colón pushed until the end but couldn’t clinch victory against Ferro | OneFootball

Colón set out determined to take control from the start and dominated the field in the opening minutes. However, the first clear opportunity was for Ferro, who at 11 minutes pushed the defense to its limits. Federico Rasmussen reacted in time and cleared the danger.

The crucial moment of the first half came at 17 minutes.

A handball by Sebastián Corda inside the area resulted in a penalty for Colón. Nevertheless, Fernando Monetti shone by guessing Alan Bonansea's shot and stopping the attempt, keeping the score at zero.

To make matters worse, a few minutes later, Ezequiel Medrán's team lost Julián Marciori to injury. He was replaced by Emanuel Beltrán. As the minutes passed, Colón regained the initiative and began to create opportunities. At 39 minutes, a good combination between Lucas Cano and Ignacio Lago almost turned into a goal, but Juan Orellana blocked the shot.

At the end of the first half, the Sabalero approached the rival area again with two shots in the same play, but failed in the finish, leaving the feeling that they deserved to be ahead.

The second half began with greater intensity.

After a few minutes, Ferro managed to score first. At 10 minutes, a corner kick found the precise moment and Matías Kabalín's fight in the area.

He managed to deflect the ball, beating Budiño and scoring the 1-0 in favor of the visitors. That goal awakened the verdolaga team. Shortly after, Kabalín caused danger again with a free kick that hit the crossbar.

Colón felt the impact and sought to react from the bench. Ezequiel Medrán made several offensive changes: Conrado Ibarra, Facundo Castro, Zahir Ibarra, and Federico Lértora came in, with the intention of gaining depth and dominance in the rival field.

The team took risks, pushed forward, and began to press Ferro towards their goal. The reward came at 29 minutes. Conrado Ibarra had a key intervention in the area, where he connected with the ball and scored the 1-1, igniting the celebration at the Brigadier López.

In the final minutes, Colón was the one who sought victory the most, but the score did not change further. The match ended in a draw, and the result left mixed feelings due to the opportunities created.
