Where Colón stand after Primera Nacional matchday 29 | OneFootball

The close of Matchday 29 of the Primera Nacional gave Colón a bit of relief amid an increasingly complicated outlook. Deportivo Madryn’s 2-1 defeat to Defensores de Belgrano prevented the Aurinegro from widening the gap in the standings, allowing the Santa Fe side to remain in contention. This match was followed closely in Santa Fe, as the Sabalero needed Madryn to slip up in order not to fall further behind.

Colón’s situation in the standings

With all the results in, Colón sits sixth in Zone A with 45 points. If the championship ended today, the team would qualify for the Reducido, but it would be forced to play the playoffs without home-field advantage, a key factor in the decisive stages.

While Ferro and Deportivo Morón have established themselves as the main contenders at the top of the table, Colón’s reality has taken a drastic turn. After suffering three straight defeats, the team coached by Iván Delfino has gone from fighting for the top spot to focusing on the urgent need to make up ground and secure a better matchup in the Reducido.

Getting back to controlling its own fate

Although the loss of a direct rival gave them a much-needed hand, the situation leaves a clear lesson: outside help will not last forever. With the final stretch of the tournament underway, Colón no longer has any margin for error. The Sabalero needs to start winning again immediately if it hopes to qualify in a more favorable position, as there is no longer any room to keep dropping points along the way.
