Colón mark 28 years since their international debut | OneFootball

On August 27, 1997, Colón visited Universidad de Chile, for the now-defunct Copa Conmebol, in what would be the start of their international journey.

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

This date is inescapable in the red and black calendar, as on August 27, 1997, 28 years ago, the Sabalero traveled to Chile to play their first official international match.

Adrián Gorostidi was responsible for scoring the only goal in what would be a 2-1 defeat against Universidad de Chile. Later, the Santa Fe team would turn the series around, winning by the same score and eliminating the Chileans from the penalty spot.
