Colón out of everything, team hits new low with no end in sight | OneFootball

Colón still hasn't hit rock bottom. They lost again, are mathematically out of chances to play in the Reducido, and are only focused on staying in the category.

Colón continues to lose its way in the Primera Nacional. This Monday, at the Juan Pasquale stadium, they fell 1-0 to Defensores de Belgrano on matchday 29 of Zone B, confirming their mathematical elimination from the fight to enter the Reducido.

The blow was double: while the Sabalero sinks with 17 defeats in the season, they have gone six matches without a win (five losses and one draw), and are only nine points ahead of CADU —the first in the relegation spots— with 15 points still up for grabs.

The outlook is increasingly bleak

The team led by Ezequiel Medrán, the fourth coach of the year after the departures of Ariel Pereyra, Andrés Yllana, and Martín Minella, once again showed worrying flaws: defensive errors in marking that allowed Gonzalo Gamarra's goal, a midfield unable to dominate duels, and a forward line lacking creativity and offensive weight to trouble Alejandro Medina.

The defeat is even more painful because there had been a glimpse of a reaction in the draw against Chacarita, in Medrán's debut. However, in Núñez, Colón appeared disoriented and vulnerable, far from the initial expectations and the investment made to fight at the top.

The numbers are damning

The rojinegro occupies the 15th place out of 18 with 28 points, only eight wins, and 21 goals scored against 35 conceded. In the last six matches, they only scored once —Ignacio Lago's goal against the Funebrero—, a reflection of the offensive anemia they are experiencing.

Now, the only goal is to avoid relegation. At the end of the championship, they will have to host Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, visit Talleres de Remedios de Escalada, play in Santa Fe against Deportivo Morón, travel to Buenos Aires to face Estudiantes, and conclude against CADU, in what could become a true final for survival.

Colón can't seem to hit rock bottom. Week after week, their reality becomes more concerning, and the margin for error shrinks. What at the beginning of the season was dreamed of as an immediate return path to Primera, has now turned into a desperate race to maintain their category.
