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

Colón came out determined to take control from the start and dominated the field in the opening minutes. However, the first clear chance went to Ferro, who, at the 11th minute, put the defense to the test. Federico Rasmussen reacted in time and cleared the danger.

The crucial moment of the first half came at the 17th minute.

A handball by Sebastián Corda inside the box resulted in a penalty for Colón. Nevertheless, Fernando Monetti shone by guessing Alan Bonansea’s shot and saving the kick, 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 the 39th minute, a good combination between Lucas Cano and Ignacio Lago nearly resulted in a goal, but Juan Orellana blocked the shot.

Near the end of the first half, the Sabalero again approached the opponent’s area with two shots in the same play, but failed to finish, leaving the impression that they deserved to go into halftime with the lead.

The second half began with greater intensity.

After a few minutes, Ferro managed to score first. At the 10th minute, a corner kick found the perfect moment and Matías Kabalín’s effort in the box.

He managed to deflect the ball, beating Budiño and scoring the 1-0 for the visitors. That goal woke up the verdolaga team. Shortly after, Kabalín threatened again with a free kick that crashed against the crossbar.

Colón felt the impact and looked to react from the bench. Ezequiel Medrán made several attacking changes: Conrado Ibarra, Facundo Castro, Zahir Ibarra, and Federico Lértora came on, aiming to gain depth and dominance in the opponent’s half.

The team took risks, pushed forward, and began to force Ferro back toward their goal. The reward came at the 29th minute. Conrado Ibarra had a key intervention in the box, where he connected with the ball and scored the 1-1, setting off celebrations at the Brigadier López.

In the final minutes, Colón was the team that pushed hardest for the win, but the score did not change. The match ended in a draw, and the result left mixed feelings due to the chances created.
