Colon Santa-Fe claimed a hard-fought 2-1 victory over San-Miguel in the Primera Nacional Regular Season on Friday evening. The match, played under lights on 22 August 2026, saw the visitors overturn San-Miguel's early advantage with a late strike. By then, the result was hardly surprising given the quality gap between the two sides.
A. Toledo gave San-Miguel the lead just before half-time with a well-taken goal in the 45+1 minute. The hosts had been pressing forward, but it was Toledo who found the space to finish. And here's the thing about these matches — one moment of clarity decides everything.
Colon Santa-Fe responded with determination after the break. F. Lertora equalised in the 66th minute, showing composure to slot home after San-Miguel's defence had drifted. The visitors then took control of the game, with B. Nasta completing the turnaround in the 72nd minute to send the away fans into raptures.
The statistics tell an interesting story. San-Miguel dominated possession at 57 per cent but managed only four shots on target, while their opponents converted their opportunities more efficiently. To be fair, the visitors didn't need much — three goals from eight attempts speaks volumes about clinical finishing.
There were plenty of changes made as the match progressed. Both managers brought on fresh legs, with San-Miguel making seven substitutions and Colon Santa-Fe also reshuffling their attack. The game became scrappy in the final stages, with six yellow cards shown in total across both sides.
San-Miguel remain 14th in the table with 29 points from 27 games, while Colon Santa-Fe move closer to the top positions with 45 points. The visitors have shown consistency in recent weeks, winning three of their last five matches compared to San-Miguel's solitary victory.
