Triumphant start for Colón as they deservedly beat Dep. Madryn 2-1 | OneFootball

Colón started off on the right foot in the Primera Nacional by defeating Deportivo Madryn 2-1 at the Brigadier López Stadium in Barrio Centenario for matchday 1 of zone A.

With a well-deserved 2-1, Colón authoritatively beat Deportivo Madryn at the Brigadier López. Alan Bonansea opened the scoring and Marcioni extended the lead to ignite the red-and-black celebration and fuel the excitement from the very first matchday of the PN 2026. Silba pulled one back (46′ ST) for the visitors.

For the 2nd matchday, they will play next Sunday in Salta, visiting Central Norte.

The match began with Colón on the attack and Madryn set up to counterattack. In the 11th minute, on their first deep play, Bonansea scored. High pressure from Nacho, an assist from Cano to Alan, who, coming in from the right, entered the box and blasted it past Bonnin. A reassuring goal both on and off the pitch.

The Sabalero lowered their intensity and Madryn started to have more possession, but without any real threat. Around the midway point of the first half, the match hit a lull.

They went into halftime with the Santa Fe side leading 1-0, which was fair, although Medrán’s team started strong and then faded.

In the second half, Colón tried to control the ball more and manage the pace of the game. The southern team’s efforts were timid and did not trouble Budiño.

As the minutes passed, the home side relied too much on long balls until a good team play from left to right emerged. Marcioni took a chance, shot from outside, caught Bonnin off guard with a weak response, and another former Patronato player scored the Sabalero’s second goal in the 13th minute.

Colón eased off and Madryn went looking to pull one back. In the 28th minute, the stadium erupted with the return of the champion. Fede Lértora replaced Antonio. The midfielder hadn’t played officially since April of last year in Mexico.

At 47 minutes of the second half, “El Tanque” Luis Silba added suspense to the end of the match in Santa Fe with a goal that put some gloss on the scoreline. Colón won 2-1 and the Brigadier exploded with joy.
