Medrán keeps same XI to bed in a style and stay on the winning track | OneFootball

Ezequiel Medrán would keep the same starting eleven at Colón after the win in Paraná. The team’s performance improved, and the coach will stick with it against San Miguel.

Colón is starting to show signs of stability. Ahead of this Saturday’s match at 7 p.m. against San Miguel, on Matchday 8 of Primera Nacional’s Zone A, Ezequiel Medrán is expected to repeat the lineup that earned a 2-0 win over Patronato at Presbítero Bartolomé Grella.

It will be the first time in the tournament that the coach keeps the same team from one match to the next, a decision that clearly reflects his aim: to strengthen an idea and give continuity to a performance that, while inconsistent, showed positive signs.

Colón, a team with two faces

The analysis of the last match offers an obvious takeaway: Colón were two teams in one. During the first half, they looked restrained, with little chance creation and no attacking threat. The system, with three central midfielders, seemed to take away depth from a team that, especially at home, needs to take the initiative.

However, the second half changed the story completely. El Sabalero cut loose, combinations started to appear, and the team gained dynamism, confidence, and aggression.

Lago sparked the breakthrough

The turning point of the match came from an individual play by Ignacio Lago, who broke the monotony with a stunning goal to open the scoring. From that moment on, Colón took control of the game.
