Eight years on from Colón's historic win at Morumbi over São Paulo | OneFootball

On August 2, 2018, Colón achieved one of the most important victories in its rich history, defeating São Paulo at the legendary Morumbi and becoming the first Argentine team to beat them at that stadium. The winning goal in the 1-0 victory was scored by Matías Fritzler with a tremendous strike from outside the box that is still being celebrated today.

“I’ve watched the goal quite a few times (laughs). People keep sending it to me and sending their regards. Right now we’re trying to get some rest, obviously enjoying it, but staying calm.” That was Matías Fritzler, the scorer of the goal that gave Colón a 1-0 win over Brazil’s São Paulo in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 32 played at the Morumbi.

“We didn’t know until after the match. That’s true. It’s a fact that maybe adds a little more to what we achieved. It’s important and nice. It’s just a statistic that will remain forever in the record books. Right now we have to think about continuing to work, because we have a long road ahead of us,” Matías Fritzler stressed after Colón’s historic victory over São Paulo.
