–

Colo Colo missed a great opportunity to escape at the top of the table and fell 1-0 at home to Cobresal, in a duel played at the Monumental Stadium.

The first half had Colo Colo proposing a little more, but without being able to create clear goal situations against a mining team that defended themselves in a great way and had some isolated occasion.

However, the complement brought the emotions to the Monumental. In fact, at 53 ‘it was the clearest for Macul’s men, when Leonardo Gil crashed a shot on the crossbar, which hit the line and went out, to the claims of the white players thinking that the ball had entered.

Colo Colo was closer to the goal, but then Cobresal surprised by marking the opening of the account.

Marco Sebastián Pol, at 72 ‘, took advantage of a center from the right by Pablo Cárdenas and defined quickly before the departure of Bryan Cortés, who could do little to avoid the 1-0 of the visit.

From there, the “Cacique” went all out on the attack in search of equality, something he was about to achieve at 89 ‘.

The ball hit the arm of Mario Pardo after a header by Javier Parraguez inside the area for which the referee sanctioned a penalty. Iván Morales was in charge of executing, but Leandro Requena guessed the side and stopped the shipment.

On the closing, Cobresal was able to liquidate the counter with plays that Juan Carlos Gaete and Pol himself did not know how to take advantage of, to which the good interventions of goalkeeper Bryan Cortés were added.

With this result, Colo Colo continues as the leader, but with two points and one more match than Unión La Calera, a box that this Sunday will face Unión Española, having the opportunity to be the leader with a victory.

Cobresal, meanwhile, continues to climb positions and is already eighth in the standings with 25 units, nine less than the “Cacique”.
