Colón secure their place: what's left for them to finish the year | OneFootball

With their stay in the Primera Nacional guaranteed, Colón faces the last two dates of the tournament with partial relief, but with significant challenges ahead. The Sabalero will first visit Estudiantes de Buenos Aires, one of the top teams in the competition, and will close their season at Brigadier López against the already relegated CADU.

While from a statistical point of view the commitments may seem secondary, they have a symbolic and strategic weight: to prevent this year's campaign from being recorded as one of the worst in the club's history, recalling the relegations of 1959 to the Primera C and 1981 to the Second Division.

Medrán's continuity at stake

For coach Ezequiel Medrán, these matches are even more important. After five matches in charge of the team, his record shows two draws and three losses, with just one goal scored, and no clear signs of football recovery compared to the coaches who preceded him. The final series could define his continuity for the next season, a factor that concerns both the management and the coaching staff itself.

Regardless of the result, the last matches can serve as a vindication for players whose future at Colón is in doubt. Those whose contracts end this year, like Guillermo Ortiz and Federico Jourdan, will have the opportunity to show their worth, while others with a contract in force for 2026 could be marked as expendable if their levels do not improve.

Playing with greatness and dignity

Finally, even though there are no immediate sporting objectives to achieve, Colón must face these commitments with greatness and dignity. Every minute on the pitch, every action, represents the prestige of the institution and the responsibility to maintain the identity of the club, beyond the tranquility provided by the salvation obtained thanks to what direct rivals like CADU and Talleres de Remedios de Escalada did not do.

The final two dates will thus be a season finale where much more than points will be decided: the future of players and coach, and the honor of a Colón that seeks to close its campaign with respect and professionalism will be at stake..
