Colón beat Millonarios 3-0 in the Primera Nacional regular season on Wednesday night, extending their unbeaten run at home. The hosts had already shown they could grind out results — a 1-0 win over Deportivo Maipú on the previous weekend — but this was a different kind of performance. They took the lead through L. Castillo in the twenty-seventh minute, and the momentum never really shifted after that.
M. Albertengo doubled the advantage just before half-time, slotting in after forty-three minutes of play. The visitors had no real answer, and the gap opened up further when R. E. Monserrat added a third in stoppage time. Three goals from twenty minutes of action, and the result was never really in doubt after the break.
F. Marin collected two yellow cards in the first half alone, and L. Castillo picked up one before being substituted at the hour mark. Millonarios' M. Penepil and R. Cao also went off the field with cautions, while the hosts made six changes in total. The substitutions came in waves — four of them on the hour — suggesting the manager was rotating rather than reacting to trouble.
The statistics sheet came back with zeros across the board for both sides, which tells you something about what was being measured or perhaps what wasn't. By then the scoreline had already said enough. Colón sat eleventh with thirty-four points from twenty-six games, while Millonarios held fifth place on forty-one. The gap between them had grown by seven points.
Millonarios had looked comfortable before this — eleven wins from twenty-six matches — but the trip to Colón turned into another difficult afternoon. The hosts now have one foot in the next round of conversations about whether they can push for promotion. It was not a pretty game, but it was a result that mattered.
