Colón 3 All Boys 2, vital win to return to the summit | OneFootball

Colón failed to manage the tempo but narrowly defeated All Boys 3-2 at Brigadier López Stadium. With this result, they climbed back to the top of Primera Nacional’s Zone A alongside Deportivo Morón, both on 22 points.

Goals from Federico Lértora, Julián Marcioni, and Ignacio Lago from the penalty spot gave the Sabalero the win and renewed their fans’ hopes. Tabares and Zafarana pulled goals back for the Albo.

Next Saturday they visit Estudiantes de Caseros from 3:30 p.m. for Matchday 14 of the 2026 Primera Nacional. It was a good afternoon for Ezequiel Medrán’s side, who needed a win to get back into the fight.

FIRST HALF

They were still settling in when the first big moment arrived. In the 4th minute, from a set piece, the Sabalero’s training-ground routine worked perfectly. A deep cross, Bonansea brought it down, and from the penalty spot Lértora buried it with a fierce, deadly strike. 1-0 While the game was even, the clearest chances belonged to Colón. In the 15th minute, Bonansea battled for it, carried it forward, and found himself one-on-one with Carrizo. The former Patronato man finished poorly and the goalkeeper came out on top. It should have been the second. And the second came in the 31st minute. Marcioni battled his way down the right, got into the box, and fired a shot across goal. Carrizo had no chance.

The first half ended with a comfortable win for the red-and-black side against an opponent that never tested Budiño’s goal.

SECOND HALF

In the second half, All Boys came out looking to pin Colón back and played much closer to Budiño’s area. In the 11th minute, he prevented a goal in his first important intervention. And in the 13th, after a corner for the Floresta side, the ball was left loose in the middle of the home box and Tabares hit it with everything he had to pull one back: 1-2.

All Boys’ reaction did not last long. In the 16th minute, there was a high boot, Marcioni went down, and the referee had no hesitation in awarding a penalty to the Sabalero. Lago converted from the spot in the 17th minute to restore calm. Colón led 3-1.

The visiting side kept pushing, and the red-and-black goalkeeper came up big again with a couple of saves to preserve the two-goal lead. In stoppage time, Zafarana headed home to cut the deficit and make it 3-2, the final score.

Later, Carrizo then denied Nacho, who powered a header from just inches away from the keeper. It was almost the fourth. A very good save to tip the ball over the crossbar.

With this victory, the red-and-black side reached 22 points, level with Deportivo Morón at the top, while Dep. Madryn, Godoy Cruz, and Bolívar are close behind on 19.
