Colón chase sole top spot against Racing de Córdoba on Radio GOL | OneFootball

The schedule points to a major match, and the stage could be none other than the Brigadier López. This Sunday from 7 p.m., Colón will take on Racing de Córdoba for the ninth round of Primera Nacional’s Zone A, with the mission of pulling away as sole leader after Deportivo Morón’s away defeat to San Miguel. The referee will be Joaquín Gil. The match will be broadcast by Radio GOL 96.7 starting at 6:00 p.m.

In the lead-up, Ezequiel Medrán’s team left clear impressions behind closed doors. Without official confirmation, the lineup appears fairly well defined, with one forced change and one specific doubt.

Tomás Paredes will be in goal, replacing Matías Budiño and making his season debut. The young player recently renewed his contract through 2028 and faces an important opportunity at a key moment for the team.

The question mark is at left back: with Leandro Allende out injured, the coach tested Emanuel Beltrán and Conrado Ibarra. The former, although he usually plays on the right, has a slight edge based on what was seen during the week.

The rest of the team would keep the structure that has been delivering results for El Sabalero, with the idea of repeating an identity that combines order and efficiency.

Racing tweaks pieces to pull off the upset

On the other side, Racing de Córdoba arrives needing to change its image after the defeat to Ciudad de Bolívar. The coaching duo of Ramiro Torres and Pablo Motta shuffled the deck and tried out variations during the week.

In principle, there would be three changes from the last match, with Chamorro, Vega, and Machado coming in for Viano, Kummer, and Ortiz.

In addition, Ricardo Centurión’s progress is being closely monitored. The forward continues to build match fitness, traveled to Santa Fe, and could return among the substitutes.

A clash that could set the tone

This is no ordinary match. Colón comes in on the rise, with two straight wins and home form that is starting to become a real strength. Racing, meanwhile, needs points so as not to lose ground in a very even group.

The margin is slim and the tournament long, but these kinds of matches usually leave signs. For El Sabalero, the chance to cement itself at the top; for La Academia, the opportunity to change course on a field that is always demanding.

Probable lineups

Colón: Tomás Paredes; Mauro Peinipil, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen and Emanuel Beltrán or Conrado Ibarra; Federico Lértora and Matías Muñoz; Julián Marcioni, Ignacio Antonio and Ignacio Lago; Alan Bonansea.Coach: Ezequiel Medrán.
