Patronato and Colegiales play out goalless draw on Matchday 28 | OneFootball

This Sunday at noon, there was action for Patronato in the Primera Nacional. On the 28th date of Zone A, the Patrón visited Colegiales at the Libertarios Unidos stadium in Munro. The game's referee was Jorge Broggi.

In the first 10 minutes, the styles of each team were exposed. Patronato tried to string together passes to reach Colegiales' area, although they did so without success; while the host tried with long balls and during those first moments, they tested the goal twice: in one attempt, Alan Sosa saved, and in the other, the ball was deflected.

Patronato's first attempt came after a lateral pass on the right, which Federico Castro sent a somewhat inaccurate cross into the area. That was enough for Alan Bonansea to control, settle, and shoot, but his shot was deflected. A few seconds later, Maximiliano Rueda tried from a distance, but his shot barely went over the crossbar. The visitor began to gain confidence.

At 30 minutes, the clearest chance for Patrón arrived. A long ball from Juan Barinaga to the right allowed Maximiliano Rueda to arrive and send a dangerous cross for Federico Castro. The striker missed, and behind him, Alan Bonansea also couldn't score: it ended in a goal kick.

The next chance for Patrón came at 34 minutes, with a free kick executed by Juan Barinaga. The midfielder sought the right post of Emilio Di Fulvio with a powerful shot, but the goalkeeper arrived well and cleared to the side to avoid the danger.

During the final minutes, the visitor had positional dominance, pressing high against their opponent, but they couldn't translate it into more scoring chances. With little to add, they went to halftime, but with the obligation for Patrón to be more incisive in the second half.

In the first minutes of the second half, little happened. Although they seemed to have measured each other in the first half, the second half began in the same way as the start of the game, with two rivals adjusting to the field.

Despite this, at 13 minutes, Joaquín Cancio had a very clear chance after an excellent overflow on the right (the local's preferred place to attack) that ended in a shot at the first post. Well-positioned, Sosa rejected without major problems.

A long ball played by Sosa to the area reached Bonansea's position. The striker lowered it with his chest for Federico Castro, who crossed the shot to the right side, but the ball was deflected. A very clear chance for Patrón at 17 minutes.

At 25 minutes into the second half, in his first intervention, Joaquín Barolín won the ball on the right and passed to Alan Bonansea. The striker couldn't define, but left the ball for Julián Marcioni, who shot without a mark, but found an excellent response from Di Fulvio, who contained the shot.

In a counterattack, Patronato was close again after a kick by Sosa for Gallucci Otero, who headed the ball for Marcioni's run on the left wing. The striker arrived to head the ball before Di Fulvio's exit, but his ball was deflected. The visitor was very close.

At 36 minutes, Alan Sosa had an excellent appearance with a stretch to the right side after a strong shot by Franco Zicarelli that was destined for the goal. The goalkeeper's save avoided the visitor's disadvantage.

In the final moments, Cole seemed to be closer, but the strikers lost clarity and failed in the last meters. Without clear scoring plays, the game ended in a goalless draw.

With the draw, Patronato reached 42 points, placing fifth (and could be overtaken by Gimnasia and Tiro de Salta); while Colegiales is 10th with 34 units. In the next round, Patronato will host Atlanta at the Presbítero Grella stadium on Sunday, August 31, at 4 pm; while Colegiales will visit Güemes at the same time.

Patronato: Alan Sosa; Gonzalo Asís, Gabriel Díaz, Santiago Bellatti, Fernando Moreyra; Maximiliano Rueda, Santiago Gallucci Otero, Juan Barinaga, Matías Pardo; Federico Castro, and Alan Bonansea.

DT: Gabriel Gómez.
