Colon de Santa Fe put an end to a six-month streak without winning at home, after winning tonight over Velez Sarsfield 2-1 in the game that opened the thirteenth round of the Professional League Football (LPF).
The victory, first at home with DT Néstor Gorosito, came with a double by Ramón “Wanchope” Ábila, the product of a header 24 minutes into the first half and a 9-point finish inside the smaller area when 39 minutes of play were played. the same stage.
The visit discounted nine minutes from the regulation time through Gianluca Prestianni.
Colón accumulated three defeats and four draws in the Elephants Cemetery since his previous victory against Patronato de Paraná -today in the First National-, on October 5.
The recovery of the team started three rounds ago with their victory at La Bombonera was ratified tonight against a Vélez that “Tigre” Ricardo Gareca cannot finish straightening out.
“El Fortín”, who added his fifth unsuccessful match, came out on the field with a youthful midfield and a defense that missed the voice of the Uruguayan Diego Godín (injured).
The advantages of the last line were decisive for the goals. In the first goal, Tomás Guidara -replaced at halftime- lost position in a struggle with the corpulent striker and in the second, a setback without a mark, allowed Baldomero Perlaza and Santiago Pierotti to set up the play to leave their teammate in the face to the goal
Gareca took action on the matter at the beginning of the final part and looked for a reaction in the team with the changes. Colón was able to control the game until 15 minutes and then Vélez grew in search of the goal well defended by Ignacio Chicco.
Prestianni, with a cross from the right alley of the area, got the discount and put Vélez in the game for the final minutes, which were lived with tension and uncertainty.
Colón, a product of physical exhaustion and the psychological effect of the discount, ended up clinging to his goalkeeper but was finally able to unleash the postponed celebration before his audience.
On the next date, “Sabalero” will be a visitor to Defense and Justice and Vélez will receive San Lorenzo.
