On the 18th of March, Colón and Independiente will play a match in Avellaneda in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Independiente is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Barracas Central. Mateo Baltasar Barcia Fernández struck first for Independiente in the 1st minute on a feed from Martin Cauteruccio, but Facundo Mater got the equalizer for Barracas Central in the 5th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Barracas Central.
