Next stop, Santa Fe: Morón beat San Miguel, eyes on Colón | OneFootball

Deportivo Morón became Colón’s next opponent at the Brigadier López Stadium for Matchday 28 of the Primera Nacional, a key fixture for the Sabalero, who dropped to third place with 45 points after losing to Racing de Córdoba. They now sit four points behind “El Gallo,” who extended their lead to 49 after a 2-1 win over San Miguel. The team coached by Walter Otta earned a crucial victory at the Francisco Urbano to stay in the fight and ease the nerves of their fans, on an afternoon full of controversy in which referee Felipe Viola ignored two clear penalties for the home side in the first half.

Although the opening stages favored the visitors, and the home crowd showed its displeasure with some individual performances, “El Gallo” took control in the second half through the changes made by its coach. The scoring opened in the 60th minute in the least expected way, when a free kick taken by Joaquín Livera was deflected into his own net by defender Dixon Rentería. Although San Miguel responded quickly and equalized temporarily in the 65th minute through Leandro Desábato, Morón regained the lead for good in the 77th minute thanks to an unforgettable acrobatic finish from Joaquín Zappacosta after a corner kick, sealing a 2-1 win that firmly puts them in the upper-tier fight and sets all their sights on the clash in Santa Fe.
