Colón's big win over Racing (C), now sole leaders | OneFootball

In a fiery match with a final-like atmosphere, El Sabalero defeated Racing de Córdoba 1-0 thanks to a penalty by Nacho Lago. Medrán’s team knew how to suffer, made the most of its moment, and now tops the group with 17 points.

From the start, Colón came out looking to impose itself, threatening with a header from Bonansea and Lértora’s presence in the opposition box. However, the visitors were no pushovers and came within inches of ruining the night when Machado struck a “penalty in motion” off the post against a Tomás Paredes who was making his debut this year with great responsibility.

In the second half, in the 14th minute, youngster Conrado Ibarra, who was back at left back, charged into the box at speed and was brought down: a crystal-clear penalty. A minute later, Nacho Lago took charge with absolute composure to make it the definitive 1-0, sparking madness in the stands.

From then on, Colón rolled up its sleeves. It withstood the attempts of a Racing side that went to its bench for changes (even with Centurión being booked from the sideline) and sealed a win that leaves it on 17 points, alone at the top of Zone A. El Sabalero is more of a leader than ever.
