The series was left open after last week’s one-goal tie at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium and the winner will face River Plate or Vélez Sarsfield.
If equality persists, there will be a direct definition with kicks from the penalty spot, since the away goals rule no longer applies as a tiebreaker.
The “Sabalero” will seek to be part of the quarterfinals of the most important tournament in South America for the second time in its history.
His first and only time was in the 1998 edition, when he was eliminated by River Plate.
At that time there were twelve participants less and the best three from each group qualified for the round of 16.
The “T”, meanwhile, will try to continue writing its history in the Copa Libertadores since in its third participation it passed the group stage for the first time.
The present of the teams does not coincide with the historical opportunity and the result could be decisive for the future of both.
The second cycle of Julio César Falcioni in Colón has a negative balance, since of 29 games he only won 8, tied 12 and lost 9.
In the League Cup, they could not qualify for the final phase and were eliminated from the Argentine Cup in the round of 16 after losing on penalties to Patronato. And of the last 17 LPF matches, they have won just one.
During the year, the experienced DT could not count on Luis “Pulga” Rodríguez fully and in recent weeks he was left without Lucas Beltrán, Rodrigo Aliendro and Leonardo Burián.
In addition, Federico Lértora will say goodbye tomorrow, star of the Copa Sudamericana final in 2019 and champion of the League Cup in 2021.
The year of Talleres is also not the expected one since after the departure of Alexander “Cacique” Medina after losing the final of the Argentine Cup against Boca at the end of 2021, he could not get back on track.
2022 began with Ángel Guillermo Hoyos as DT, who left office without victory after six games, and the Portuguese Pedro Caixinha arrived in his place.
After an internship by Javier Gandolfi, the European coach led the “Albiazul” team in 21 games, of which he won 6, drew 6 and lost 9.
The worrying thing is that Talleres is last in the annual table that will determine the classification for the next international cups.
Uruguayan striker Michael Santos, who left due to a muscle injury in the first leg, will not play in the “T”, but it would not be the only change since reinforcements Julio Buffarini and Francisco Pizzini could play from the beginning.
For his part, Colón will have the return of Rafael Delgado in defense by Joaquín Novillo, in which it would be the only variant.
When do Colón vs Talleres play?
The game will be played from 7:15 p.m. at the Brigadier General Estanislao López stadium in Santa Fe, with arbitration by Brazilian Anderson Daronco and will be televised by Fox Sports. In the VAR will be Wagner Reway and Rodrigo D’Alonso, also from Brazil.
