Colón outclassed by Estudiantes de Tucumán in Argentina | OneFootball

In a new round of the Northern Conference of the Argentine League, Colón de Santa Fe suffered a tough setback, falling at home to Estudiantes de Tucumán by 85 to 66. The Tucumán team, which arrived shaken after a loss in Gálvez, managed to recover quickly thanks to solid and collective play. For their part, the team led by Leandro Spies felt the absence of González and, after a close first quarter, was outmatched by the intensity of the visitors, who dominated both in the paint and on the perimeter.

The development of the game showed a very effective Tucumán "Cebra," supported by five players who reached double digits in scoring. Estudiantes' superiority was based on fluid ball movement (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 efforts of Feder Ponce, the home team's top scorer with 19 points, Colón never found the formula to stop their rival's dominance inside.

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 games, give the Santa Fe team a small breather in their fight to climb out of the bottom.
