Despite defeat, Colón stay fourth in Zone A until the restart | OneFootball

The defeat against Chaco For Ever in the postponed match from the fourth round marked the end of the first stage of the championship for Colón. Despite the bitter taste left by the result in Resistencia, the Sabalero managed to finish the first half of the Primera Nacional in fourth place in the Zone A standings, safe from any mathematical threat of losing ground during the break.

With 29 points collected so far, the team coached by Ezequiel Medrán will hold on to its privileged position until the tournament resumes after the recess. The peace of mind for the Santa Fe side came because its closest pursuers, Estudiantes de Buenos Aires and Ciudad de Bolívar, faced each other on the same matchday, preventing either from earning the points needed to catch up.

Meanwhile, the other teams that were also within striking distance in the standings will not be able to threaten Colón’s position over the rest of the weekend either. Deportivo Madryn, currently in seventh place with 25 points, will face Los Andes this Sunday and, even with a win, will not reach the Rojinegro’s total. Godoy Cruz is in the same situation, as it will not be able to make a leap forward in its match against Central Norte either.

In this way, Colón will go into the break among the top spots, certain of keeping its current position but with the obligation to fine-tune details ahead of the tournament’s restart.

This is how the standings look on this matchday
