Colón Starts Season with Victory in Primera Nacional

Buenos Aires, Feb 14 (NA) – Colón got off to a flying start in the new Primera Nacional season, thanks to a 2-1 victory over Deportivo Madryn, a team that was surrounded by controversial situations last year. The goals for the "Sabalero" were scored by Alan Bonansea and Julián Marcioni, while for the Chubut team, Luis Silba scored a consolation goal late in the game. The one who opened the scoring for Colón was Bonansea, who, in the 12th minute of the first half, unleashed a powerful shot to the near post after a good pass from Lucas Cano. In the second half, the Santa Fe team extended their lead as the hour mark approached, thanks to a weak shot from outside the area by Marcioni, which ended up in the opposing goal mainly due to the very poor reaction of goalkeeper Yair Bonnín. Towards the end of the match, as the 92nd minute was being played, Deportivo Madryn managed to pull one back through Silba, but it was not enough, and they will return to Chubut empty-handed. In the next round, Colón, which had a very busy transfer window in which it signed more than 10 players, will visit Central Norte de Salta, while Deportivo Madryn will host Deportivo Morón. According to the Argentine News Agency, in other matches of the opening round of the Primera Nacional that took place this Saturday, All Boys, Ferro, Acassuso, and Agropecuario managed to get three points each thanks to their respective victories over Mitre de Santiago del Estero, San Telmo, Chaco For Ever, and Deportivo Maipú, while in the other matches, Deportivo Morón and Defensores de Belgrano drew 1-1, and Tristán Suárez and Temperley also shared points in a goalless encounter. The day's results in the Primera Nacional: All Boys 2 – 1 Mitre de Santiago del Estero; Deportivo Morón 1 – 1 Defensores de Belgrano; San Telmo 0 – 2 Ferro; Acassuso 2 – 0 Chaco For Ever; Agropecuario 2 – 1 Deportivo Maipú; Tristán Suárez 0 – 0 Temperley; Colón de Santa Fe 2 – 1 Deportivo Madryn.
