Midfield lock: Medrán could go with the “Triple 5” for Colón v Patronato

For the upcoming match against Patronato, Ezequiel Medrán is planning a major tactical change at Colón, aiming to fix the shortcomings that were exposed in the last round.

The “Triple 5” gamble

The coach is seriously considering packing the midfield with Federico Lértora, Ignacio Antonio, and Matías Muñoz. The goal is to gain more physical presence and defensive balance, taking advantage of Medrán’s strong familiarity with the Antonio-Muñoz duo from his time at Gimnasia de Mendoza, while adding Lértora’s experience and quality.

Context: The defeat against San Telmo

El Sabalero comes into this match hurting after a 3-1 loss to San Telmo at Isla Maciel last Sunday, March 22.

Defensive fragility: Colón struggled badly in transitions and on set pieces.
The response goal: Alan Bonansea scored to make it 2-1 temporarily, but the team’s own mistakes kept them from salvaging at least a point.
Tense atmosphere: The match was delayed for almost an hour due to a fan collapsing in the stands, which cooled the pace of the game at a key moment.
