Colon secured a 2:1 victory over La Luz in the Second Division, 2nd Phase - 14 on Saturday night. The result lifted the hosts to five points clear of the visitors in the table, though both sides have played six games this season. The match took place on 16 August 2026, and the home side kept what little momentum they had until the final whistle.
R. Quintana opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the twelfth minute, giving Colon a slender lead. F. Fernandez doubled the advantage before the interval, making it 2:0 in the forty-second minute. La Luz had been the stronger side in possession, but they had to work harder after the break.
A. Olivera received a red card in the thirty-first minute, and the visitors suddenly had to chase the game. F. Sosa pulled one back for La Luz in the eighty-third minute, but it came too late. The visitors threw everything at it, but the hosts sat deep and soaked it up.
La Luz controlled 61 per cent of possession and registered 102 attacks, compared with 81 for Colon. They also won 10 corners to none, and had 9 shots on target against 6. Yet they could only convert one of those efforts, while Colon took advantage when it mattered.
The win moves Colon to 9 points in fifth place, while La Luz remain on 7 points in ninth. Both sides have one defeat from six games, but the gap between them widens with each round.
Colon had shown flashes of inconsistency recently, but they have kept three clean sheets on the spin over the last five matches. La Luz won only one of their last six, and that result will make life awkward in the standings.
