Colón steamrolled San Miguel at the Brigadier López to go top | OneFootball

The Sabalero beat the Trueno Verde 3-0 at the Brigadier López in Matchday 8 of Primera Nacional’s Zone A. Nacho Antonio (6’ and 12’ of the first half) and Nacho Lago gave Ezequiel Medrán’s side the win.

Colón made another home appearance with a clear objective: to keep picking up three points and strengthen their place at the top of Primera Nacional’s Zone A, something they ultimately achieved. The Sabalero defeated San Miguel 3-0 at the Brigadier López stadium in the eighth round of the tournament, riding the momentum from their recent win over Patronato in Paraná. Ignacio Antonio (6’ and 12’ of the first half) and Nacho Lago in the 17th minute scored for Ezequiel Medrán’s team.

In the early stages, when little was happening, Ignacio Antonio entered the box in the 6th minute and put it away with a scissors kick after Marciori burst down the right flank. The Sabalero took the lead right away.

The early goal gave Colón a great deal of calm, and they began to move the ball confidently in search of combinations. Just six minutes later, in the 12th minute, the Sabalero doubled the lead. It was the same formula: a cross from the right and Antonio in the box to tap it in and make it 2-0 against San Miguel.

With a comfortable advantage, the Sabalero managed the tempo of the match better, taking advantage of San Miguel’s understandable desperation over the scoreline, and the game settled down for a while.

Until the 35th minute, when another move down the right found Marciori, whose shot was well saved by goalkeeper Lungarzo.

A minute later, the Sabalero attacked down the right once again, with a deep cross that no one in the box could connect with, but on the far side Allende appeared and struck it hard, only for it to go just over the crossbar.

San Miguel tried to respond before halftime when, in the 41st minute, a cross and a miskick by Rasmussen created danger in Colón’s box, but it came to nothing.

The start of the second half seemed to show San Miguel trying to push a little farther up the field with a series of crosses, but in the 17th minute they were dealt another blow by Colón when a cross intended for the box was handled by a Trueno Verde defender. Match referee Nahuel Viñas did not hesitate and pointed to the penalty spot, and Ignacio Lago converted the penalty to make it 3-0.

After the 3-0, and naturally, despite a few more attempts from Colón, both the Sabalero and the team managed by Sapito Coleoni slowed the pace of the game, and not much else happened.

With this win, Colón now has 14 points and back-to-back victories, putting them alone at the top of their group at least until tomorrow, while San Miguel has now gone four matches without a win in the tournament.
