Zone A after Colón’s crushing defeat to Ferro in Caballito | OneFootball

Colón got off to a bad start on Matchday 21. The 2-0 defeat to Ferro in Caballito was not only a tough blow on the football side, but it also had a major impact on the Primera Nacional Zone A standings.

The Caballito side took advantage of the opportunity to widen the gap at the top of the table. With the win over El Sabalero, Ferro reached 43 points and became even more solid at the summit, opening an eight-point lead over El Rojinegro, who remain on 35 and missed a great chance to stay right in the fight for first place.

Beyond the setback, some of the other results from the round kept the outlook from becoming even more complicated for Colón. Ciudad Bolívar failed to take advantage of the chance to make up ground and drew at home against All Boys, while Almirante Brown and Estudiantes de Caseros shared the points after a 0-0 draw in another match the Santa Fe side was following closely.

In any case, the big winner of the round was Ferro. El Verdolaga not only made a statement against one of its main challengers, but also widened the gap at the top and is beginning to establish itself as the team to beat in Zone A.

For Colón, meanwhile, the margin for error is starting to shrink. With an eight-point gap to the leaders and much of the second half of the season still to play, the team will have to respond quickly if it hopes to get fully back into the promotion race and prevent the leaders from pulling away for good.
