San Martin de San Juan Reserves 1–1 Colon Reserves: Honours Even in Tight Battle

Neither side could find a decisive edge as San Martin de San Juan Reserves and Colon Reserves played out a 1–1 draw at the Estadio Hilario Sánchez on 27 May 2026. The point was probably a fair reflection of a match that had chances at both ends but lacked a moment of real quality in the final third.

First Half: Colon Strike First

Colon Reserves started the stronger and took the lead in the 14th minute. A well‑worked move down the left ended with a low cross that was turned home at the back post, giving the visitors an early advantage. San Martin de San Juan Reserves responded well, dominating possession for the remainder of the half but failing to test the Colon goalkeeper with clear‑cut chances. The home side’s best effort was a curling free‑kick that sailed just wide.

Second Half: San Martin Equalise, Both Sides Push for Winner

San Martin came out with renewed purpose and levelled in the 54th minute. A corner was cleared only as far as the San Martin midfielder, who lashed a volley into the top corner from the edge of the box. The goal lifted the home crowd, and San Martin pressed for a second. Colon, however, created two excellent chances on the break, hitting the crossbar and forcing a fine save from the San Martin goalkeeper. In the end, both teams settled for a point.
