Phoenix played Colon in the Segunda Division's 19th round of the second phase on Saturday, and the match finished 1-1 after ninety minutes. The result keeps Phoenix third in the table on eleven points while Colon remain fifth with nine.
L. Mendez gave the hosts an early lead just one minute in, which set a brisk tone from the start. To be fair, Phoenix controlled the tempo after that, keeping their side in it with sustained pressure. Colon struggled to establish any rhythm against the higher tempo.
V. Luciani equalised for the visitors in the seventy-sixth minute, and the game settled into a more measured pattern. By then both sides had seen enough to know a point would suit the table picture. Neither team pushed for a winner in the closing stages.
Phoenix registered ninety-seven attacks against sixty-one for Colon, and their possession dominated at sixty-five per cent. The hosts took five shots on target but only one found the net, while Colon managed just one shot on target as well. Two yellow cards for Phoenix contrasted with none for the visitors.
The draw extends Phoenix's unbeaten run but does nothing to close the gap on leaders, while Colon continue to collect points without threatening the top positions. They have not won since their last outing, and this result keeps them in a comfortable middle ground.
