Deportivo Morón took all three points from Colón Santa Fe on Friday evening, winning 2:1 in the Primera Nacional's Regular Season round 28. The match, played at Colón's home ground, ended with the visitors moving further clear of the hosts in the table. It was a game decided by moments rather than sustained pressure, and by then the pattern was already set.
Colón Santa Fe took the lead through M. Levato in the forty-first minute, a goal that seemed to settle the home side. Deportivo Morón equalised before half-time, G. Berterame striking in the forty-fifth minute plus two. And here's the thing — the momentum shifted almost immediately after the restart. A. Bonansea put the visitors ahead in the fifty-second minute, and Colón never quite recovered their composure after that.
The match was punctuated by bookings rather than drama. M. Burruchaga, E. Lazza, P. Barrios, and I. Antonio all received yellow cards in the first half alone, while B. Salvareschi and F. Lertora were cautioned later. Eight substitutions were made across the second half, with Colón bringing on F. Garcia, E. Iniguez, and M. Burruchaga in the eighty-sixth minute in a bid to find an equaliser.
Colón Santa Fe dominated possession at 59 per cent and recorded 94 attacks compared to Deportivo Morón's 90, yet the statistics tell only part of the story. Both sides registered four shots on target, but the visitors were more clinical. To be fair, the home side pushed for a response but ran out of time, and the result reflects a match where chances were created but not always converted.
We had given a prediction of a home win at 39 per cent confidence, and the match went another way. Colón Santa Fe controlled territory but couldn't break down a disciplined Deportivo Morón defence once the visitors took the lead. The loss leaves the home side in fourth place with 45 points, while Deportivo Morón move further clear in second with 52 points after their twenty-eighth game of the season.
