The Brigadier López, Colón’s fortress for dreaming of the big prize | OneFootball

Colón once again turned Brigadier López Stadium into a decisive stage in its fight for promotion. The team led by Ezequiel Medrán has built much of its campaign at home, where it remains unbeaten and has collected most of the points that today place it as the runner-up in Zone A of the Primera Nacional.

The Sabalero’s current form is also backed by a strong overall run. It won three of its last four matches in the championship and, in its most recent outing in Santa Fe, returned to winning ways after the draw against Ciudad de Bolívar, reaffirming the strength it has been showing in front of its home crowd.

Colón’s unbeaten run in Santa Fe keeps getting stronger

The numbers at Brigadier López reflect Colón’s strength when playing at home. It has gone 12 straight matches without losing at home, with seven wins and five draws, a run that has allowed it to stay among the championship’s frontrunners.

Looking only at matches played in the current Primera Nacional, the Sabalero has played 10 matches in Santa Fe, with a record of six wins and four draws, while keeping its unbeaten record intact.

In that stretch, it scored 16 goals and conceded just five, giving it a goal difference of +11. It also picked up 22 of the 30 possible points, reaching a 73.33% success rate, one of the best returns in the division.

Colón among the championship’s best home sides

Colón’s production at home also stands out when compared with the rest of the Primera Nacional teams. In the overall home performance table, the Sabalero sits in third place, behind only two of the tournament’s strongest teams.

The leader is Gimnasia de Jujuy, which in 10 appearances has recorded eight wins and two draws, with 22 goals scored and just six conceded. The Jujuy side has 26 points and boasts an 86.67% success rate.

Second is Deportivo Morón, leader of Zone A, which also remains unbeaten at its stadium. At the Nuevo Francisco Urbano, it has played 10 matches, won seven and drawn three, collecting 24 points, with an 80% success rate.

A contrast with Ferro before the key clash

Colón’s next match will be against Ferro, a rival showing a very different reality when playing at home. At the Arquitecto Ricardo Etcheverri Stadium, the Verdolaga sits in 23rd place in the overall home performance standings.

The Caballito team has played nine home matches, with five wins, one draw, and three defeats. It has scored nine goals, conceded eight, and has 16 points, with a 59.26% success rate, well below the numbers posted by the Sabalero at Brigadier López.

With its home ground once again turning into a true fortress, Colón has found in Santa Fe the main pillar of its campaign. That strength explains much of its place in the table and fuels the hope of continuing to fight for the ultimate goal of promotion until the end of the championship.
