Liga Santafesina: Newell’s beat Colón in early Clausura match | OneFootball

In the opening of the second round of the Isósceles Cup, Newell's made a splash in the Roma neighborhood by defeating Colón de Santa Fe. Additionally, Colón de San Justo celebrated in Santo Tomé, and Guadalupe confirmed their great form by beating Cosmos. On Saturday, the interzonal matches will be played, with the school classic between La Salle and Ateneo as the main attraction.

The «Norberto Serenotti» Closing Tournament of First Division A has already begun its second round with resounding results. On Thursday night, Newell's Old Boys from the Roma neighborhood wrote one of those pages that invite dreaming. The team led by Claudio Gaitán defeated Colón de Santa Fe 1-0, one of the league's giants, thanks to a goal by Emiliano Acosta. It was a hard-fought victory, with an intelligent strategy and a lot of collective sacrifice, allowing the Roma neighborhood team to earn three crucial points in their goal of maintaining their category and, why not, daring to aim higher.

Colón, meanwhile, couldn't find the formula to overcome the home team's resistance. They created chances but lacked clarity in the final meters. Acosta's early goal was decisive, and from there, Newell's organized themselves defensively, closing paths and betting on counterattacks. The final whistle unleashed a celebration in the Roma neighborhood, with fans supporting and celebrating their players' dedication.

In Santo Tomé, Independiente couldn't capitalize on their home advantage against Colón de San Justo, who won 1-0 with a goal by Claudio Albarracín. The "Conqueror" showed class in a tough match and took three golden points that fuel their hopes of being a protagonist in this Closing Tournament. Miguel Restelli's team displayed experience, struck at the right moment, and fiercely defended their lead.

Meanwhile, Sportivo Guadalupe extended their great moment. Tobaldo's team defeated Cosmos 1-0 away with a goal by Nicolás Jovellano. Thus, Guadalupe has strung together two wins in as many appearances, achieving a perfect score and consolidating themselves as one of the leaders of the Closing Tournament. Their performance generates expectations and confirms the work of a squad that had already shown good signs in the first semester.

With these advances, the second round of the «Norberto Serenotti» Closing Tournament has already started to rev up, but the most exciting part is yet to come. This Saturday, the interzonal matches will be played, with a game that promises to be high voltage: the school classic between La Salle and Ateneo Inmaculada. Eduardo Magnín's team will seek to be strong at home, while Agustín Bianco's team will aim for another victory in this historic clash that always stirs passions.

The Saturday session will also have other interesting matches. Academia AC will face Universidad under the arbitration of Carlos Céspedes. Gimnasia y Esgrima will clash with Pucará, with Ángel Cristoforato as the main referee. Juventud Unida will host Deportivo Nobleza, in a match refereed by Joaquín Urbani. Additionally, Nacional will face Náutico El Quillá with Emiliano Maldonado officiating, while Vecinal Gálvez will host Sanjustino with Juan Bonnín as the referee. Finally, Ciclón Norte will meet La Perla del Oeste, under the watch of Ignacio Castellano.

The round will conclude on Sunday night, by the side of Laguna Setúbal. There, from 8 PM, Ciclón Racing will host Unión de Santa Fe in an attractive duel, with Lucas Muga as the referee. The Tatengue, who drew in their debut, will try to secure their first victory in the tournament, while the coastal team will look to capitalize on their home advantage to make a statement.

The Isósceles Cup of the «Norberto Serenotti» Closing Tournament is taking shape and makes it clear from the start that it will be a tight contest, with surprises and upsets that invite many to dream. Newell's opened the round with a dramatic twist that strengthens them, Guadalupe reaffirmed their status as contenders, and Colón de San Justo secured a character-building victory in Santo Tomé. Now, all eyes will be on the school classic and the Sunday clash by the Setúbal shore, where the ball will roll again with the undying passion that characterizes the Santafesina League.

The coming days will test teams looking to consolidate themselves and others needing to regain ground. But if anything was demonstrated at the start of the second round, it's that in the Closing Tournament, nothing is guaranteed: the competition is close, and each match is decided by details. Thus, with emotions running high, the Santafesina League continues to write chapter by chapter a story filled with rivalry, effort, and dreams shared by all who love local football.
