Brigadier López, Colón’s fortress to dream of the top prize | OneFootball

Colón once again turned the Brigadier López stadium into a decisive stage in its fight for promotion. The team led by Ezequiel Medrán has built much of its campaign at home, where it remains unbeaten and has collected most of the points that today place it as runner-up in Primera Nacional’s Zone A.

The Sabalero’s current form is also backed by a strong overall run. It won three of its last four matches in the championship and, in its most recent outing in Santa Fe, returned to winning ways after the draw it had recorded against Ciudad de Bolívar, reaffirming the strength it has been showing in front of its fans.

An unbeaten run that keeps getting stronger for Colón in Santa Fe

The numbers at the Brigadier López reflect Colón’s weight when it plays at home. It has gone 12 straight home matches without defeat, with seven wins and five draws, a run that has allowed it to stay among the championship’s frontrunners.

Looking only at matches played in the current Primera Nacional, the Sabalero has played 10 matches in Santa Fe, with a record of six wins and four draws, while keeping its unbeaten record intact.

During that stretch, it scored 16 goals and conceded just five, giving it a +11 goal difference. It also took 22 of the 30 points available, reaching a 73.33% success rate, one of the best returns in the division.

Colón, among the best home teams in the championship

Colón’s home form also stands out when compared with the rest of the Primera Nacional teams. In the overall home-performance table, the Sabalero sits in third place, behind only two of the tournament’s strongest sides.

The leader is Gimnasia de Jujuy, which in 10 appearances has recorded eight wins and two draws, with 22 goals scored and just six conceded. The Jujuy side has 26 points and boasts an 86.67% success rate.

In second place is Deportivo Morón, leader of Zone A, which also remains unbeaten at its stadium. At the Nuevo Francisco Urbano it has played 10 matches, won seven and drawn three, collecting 24 points, with an 80% success rate.

A contrast with Ferro ahead of the key clash

Colón’s next match will be against Ferro, a rival showing a very different reality when playing at home. At the Arquitecto Ricardo Etcheverri stadium, the Verdolaga sits in 23rd place in the overall home-performance standings.

The Caballito team has played nine home matches, with five wins, one draw, and three defeats. It has scored nine goals, conceded eight, and has 16 points, with a 59.26% success rate, well below the numbers the Sabalero boasts at the Brigadier López.

With its home ground once again turned into a true stronghold, Colón has found in Santa Fe the main pillar of its campaign. That strength explains much of its position in the table and fuels the hope of continuing to fight for the ultimate goal of promotion until the end of the championship.
