The champion had a bitter reunion with football. No matter how classic or not, the truth is that the Catholic University and the Spanish Union always give away intense duels, which are only defined by details. And this Saturday was no exception. In an entertaining match, the Hispanics broke the undefeated crusaders in the National Tournament: they beat them 0-1, in an afternoon that had the goalkeeper Diego Sánchez as a figure. They had not lost since October 16, 2019, when they fell by the minimum against La Calera in Nicolás Chahuán.
Although it was the whole of the strip had the first chance to open the festivities, finally it was the reds who started in advantage. Fernando Zampedri, in the 6 ‘, wasted in an incredible way a heads up against goalkeeper Sánchez. Farra that was paid dearly and that could have meant another story for UC, since, just a minute later, the visit found the 0-1 thanks to a rude error by Matías Dituro. The goalkeeper tried to capture the ball in a corner kick and ended up leaving it served in the area so that, after a series of rebounds, Thomas Galdames unleashed the Hispanic celebrations.
Those led by Ronald Fuentes took advantage of the gift and waited for the crossed attack. Betting on the counterattack and speed of Felipe Fritz and Carlos Palacios. The homeowners, meanwhile, gradually managed to settle on rival terrain and chances were generated. However, a good first half from both the outsider defense and Sánchez prevented the teams from going into halftime with a draw.
Ariel Holan opted for the entry of one of his best men to face the complement: Edson Puch. The winger, who arrived with just enough after overcoming an injury, replaced Diego Buonanotte, who had a low encounter, with the aim of giving his squad more dynamism in three quarters of the court. However, the local offensive lacked ideas and, although it created danger, it failed to beat Sánchez, who in the second period consolidated himself as the figure.
UC, which recorded its first defeat in the contest, remains in the lead, but returns to the competition with problems. With a team that at times was lost in the attack and that could not with the spectacular afternoon of the Mono. Now, Holan will have to look for options to improve the offense. With the focus on Coquimbo.
