Nicolas Ferreyra struck first for Barracas Central in the 19th minute, then Cristian Oscar Bernardi tied it up for Colón in the 39th minute on a feed from Rodrigo Aliendro Finally they completed the comback victory in the 61st minute on a goal by Lucas Beltrán to cap off a wild match. Colón is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Both Luis Miguel Rodríguez and Lucas Beltrán have been the hottest scorers for Colón in the last five each having scored 2 goals each. Lucas Blondel and Mateo Retegui are the top scorers for Tigre in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
