Rock solid. That's the only way to describe the travels of Plaza Colonia so far, with 7-1-0 (wins-draws-losses) so far. Those are Primera Division statistics. The away team travel with confidence.

Calleros, N. Dibble, R. López and G. Camargo providing the goals. Colonia delivered their win in the match against Villa Espanola already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!

A 2-2 draw at Torque's stadium before that.
