Triumphant start for Colón as they deservedly beat Dep. Madryn 2-1 | OneFootball

Colón started the Primera Nacional on the right foot by defeating Deportivo Madryn 2-1 at the Brigadier López Stadium in Barrio Centenario for matchday 1 of zone A.

With a well-deserved 2-1, Colón authoritatively beat Deportivo Madryn at the Brigadier López. Alan Bonansea opened the scoring and Marcioni extended the lead to spark a rojinegra celebration and fuel hopes from the very first matchday of the PN 2026. Silba pulled one back (46′ ST) for the visitors.

For the 2nd matchday, they will play next Sunday in Salta, as visitors against Central Norte.

The match began with Colón on the attack and Madryn set up to counterattack. In the 11th minute, on their first real chance, Bonansea scored. High pressure from Nacho, assist from Cano to Alan, who, positioned on the right, entered the box and blasted it past Bonnin. A calming goal both on and off the pitch.

The Sabalero’s intensity dropped and Madryn began to have more possession, but without depth. Around the middle of the first half, the match hit a lull.

They went into halftime with the Santa Fe team leading 1-0, and it was deserved, although Medrán’s side started strong and faded as the half went on.

In the second half, Colón tried to keep more of the ball and control the flow of the game. The southern team’s efforts were timid and did not trouble Budiño.

As the minutes passed, the home side relied too much on long balls until a good team play from left to right appeared. Marcioni took a chance, shot from outside, caught Bonnin off guard with a weak response, and another former Patronato player scored the Sabalero’s second goal in the 13th minute.

Colón eased off and Madryn went looking for a goal to reduce the deficit. In the 28th minute, the stadium erupted with the return of the champion. Fede Lértora replaced Antonio. The midfielder hadn’t played officially since April of last year in Mexico.

At 47 minutes into the second half, “El Tanque” Luis Silba added suspense to the end of the match in Santa Fe with a goal that put a finishing touch on the result. Colón won 2-1 and the Brigadier López exploded with joy.
