Colón mark 28 years since their international debut | OneFootball

On August 27, 1997, Colón visited Universidad de Chile for the now-defunct Copa Conmebol, marking the beginning of their international journey.

The reality is harsh and hits hard in the Colón world. A team unable to progress in Primera Nacional, far from the days of glory abroad that marked many generations.

This date is unavoidable on the rojinegro calendar, as on August 27, 1997, already 28 years ago, the Sabalero traveled to Chile to play their first official international match.

Adrián Gorostidi was in charge of scoring the only goal in what would be a 2-1 defeat against Universidad de Chile. Afterwards, the team from Santa Fe would turn the series around, winning by the same score and eliminating the Chileans on penalties.
