Colón sweep past Jujuy Básquet and celebrate at Roque Otrino | OneFootball

The rough patch is over for Colón, as they built a great victory with an 89-67 win at home, marking their second consecutive triumph and showing character.

Colón smiled again in front of their fans at the Roque Otrino. The team from Santa Fe defeated Jujuy Básquet with authority by 89 to 67, securing their second consecutive victory in this 2026 and leaving positive signs from collective play, defensive intensity, and the ability to react at key moments of the match.

The team led by Leandro Spies built their success starting from a dominant second quarter, where they managed to impose conditions on both ends of the court. With a very effective zone defense and good decisions on offense, the rojinegro distanced themselves from a rival that showed great difficulties in outside shooting, especially from 6.75 meters. This superiority allowed Colón to go into halftime with an advantage and emotional control of the game, managing the pace and taking advantage of the visitor's turnovers.

The development changed in the third period. Jujuy Básquet adjusted their defense and found a burst of effectiveness from the perimeter, with five consecutive three-pointers that brought them fully into the game. At times, the visitors even took the lead, creating uncertainty in the stadium. However, Colón did not lose their composure. Far from feeling the impact, the team from Santa Fe showed composure and collective solidity, maintained defensive intensity, and waited for their moment to strike back.

Colón's Crushing Final Quarter

The closing was all Sabalero. With a 32-12 run in the last quarter, Colón overpowered their rival, regained control of the game, and ended up dazzling in front of their fans. The pressure on the ball, offensive circulation, and effectiveness in open shots made the difference in the decisive stretch.

Individually, Joaquín Fernández (21 points) and Hans Feder Ponce (20) stood out as top scorers, well supported by Bautista Fernández and Germán González, both with 16 points, in a distributed and efficient offensive production.

The night also left a special note: the debut of the young talent Franco Mierke from Esperanza, who played his first minutes in the rojinegro jersey, a sign of the club's ongoing work with its youth divisions. With this victory, Colón gains momentum and is already thinking about their next challenge: Sunday, February 2, when they visit Comunicaciones de Mercedes, aiming to continue consolidating their recovery in the competition.
