What’s left for Colón and their direct rivals in the fight to stay up | OneFootball

The defeat of Colón against Estudiantes de Río Cuarto by 1-0 at the Brigadier López further complicated the outlook for the team from Santa Fe. The Sabalero fell to the 16th position in Zone B, after being surpassed in the table by Almirante Brown, who defeated San Telmo and reached 29 points.

With only four matches remaining, the fight for survival will be dramatic, as the bottom two will be relegated.

A Finale Full of Decisive Matches

The schedule offers a special twist: Colón still has to face both direct rivals in the fight for survival. First, they will visit Talleres de Escalada, and in the last match, they will host CADU at the Brigadier, in a game that could be decisive.

Meanwhile, Talleres also has direct clashes, as they will host Colón and finish against Almirante Brown. The team from Isidro Casanova, which currently breathes a bit easier, will also have a tough schedule with matches against Chacarita and Estudiantes de Río Cuarto.

CADU, which is in a more complicated position, will try to close the gap at home against Chicago and Temperley, before visiting Colón in the final round.

Open Ending

The margin is minimal, and the pressure is mounting. Colón, which started the season with the hope of competing at the top, now finds itself tangled in the fight for survival and faces a final stretch where every point could mean the difference between relief and a new historic blow.

Colón could secure its place in the category by simply drawing against Talleres de Remedios de Escalada (as this rival cannot surpass them in the final matches) and if CADU loses to Estudiantes de Buenos Aires. If they win, they must wait for the team from Zárate not to win to confirm their stay in the category.
