Colón slip a place after Ferro draw with Racing in Córdoba | OneFootball

Racing de Córdoba drew 0-0 against Ferro Carril Oeste this Friday at the Miguel Sancho stadium, in the match that opened Round 16 of the Primera Nacional.

It was a dull match, with few thrills and very few dangerous chances. Racing had the better start and created the two clearest opportunities of the night, but once again showed one of its main shortcomings this season: a lack of penetration in the final third.

The Córdoba side showed defensive organization and solidity to avoid scares, although it struggled to create attacking moves and ended up looking predictable going forward.

Ferro suffered in the opening minutes, but as the match went on it managed to level the play and grew in confidence. In the second half, it matched the run of play and ultimately left a better impression than its rival.

One of the concerns for Racing was Ricardo Centurión’s exit. The midfielder did not return for the second half due to hamstring discomfort and was replaced by Fernando Ortiz.

In the final minutes, driven by the need to get the win, Racing pushed its lines forward and left spaces that Ferro tried to exploit on the counterattack. However, the Caballito side was also lacking precision in front of goal, and the score remained unchanged.

The draw left a negative feeling in Nueva Italia. At the end of the match, a large part of the home crowd expressed its discontent with whistles and jeers aimed at the players.

In addition, the team’s current form once again puts the coaching duo of Ramiro Torres and Pablo Motta under scrutiny, as their spell is going through a period of growing uncertainty after another winless outing.

With this result, Racing remains far from the top spots in Zone A (with 16 points from 15 matches, in 13th place in Zone A) and will need to look for a quick recovery when it visits All Boys in the next round.

With this match, the Nueva Italia side has now gone six games without a win.

Ferro is in third place with 25 points, the same total as leader Morón, although with an inferior goal difference.

With this result, Colón will take the field tomorrow in fifth place against Almirante Brown
