Colón have matched the second-worst season in their history | OneFootball

Colón continues to accumulate blows in a season marked by frustration and resignation. The defeat against Estudiantes (BA) not only extended their winless streak to 10 matches, but also sealed a statistic that will remain in the record books forever: it became the second worst campaign in their history in AFA tournaments.

In 33 appearances, the Rojinegro managed just eight wins, five draws, and 20 losses—numbers that would mean relegation in any other context. The “balm” this year was the extremely poor performance of Talleres (RE) and Defensores Unidos, who ended up even further down and spared Colón from having to lament another relegation.

The unavoidable reference for measuring the magnitude of the present goes back to 1959, when the club strung together its worst historical performance: seven wins, six draws, and 21 defeats, in times when two points were awarded per victory. That time, their poor effectiveness condemned them to relegation to Primera C.

If Colón loses in the last match against CADU, it won’t be the worst campaign—by just one point—but it will remain practically on the same level as a record that marked one of the darkest chapters in their history. The statistic invites reflection. Not only for sporting reasons, but also institutionally: Colón dangerously flirted with relegation and makes it clear that, without a strong change of direction in the future, history could repeat itself.
