The dominance of Universidad Católica in Chilean soccer seems unrepeatable. Even when his game does not shine, he manages to defeat his opponent, get him into the area and dominate him. The two-time champion flies without setbacks, suffering some scares that have arisen more through his own fault than through the merit of his rivals. Audax Italiano suffered from this supremacy. With a 3-0 perhaps too wide in relation to what the Italians showed on the court. But there it is: a result that confirms that UC moves at a different speed than the rest of the Chilean soccer teams.
Despite the solid stance of Francisco Meneghini’s painting, cross control was never in doubt. Possession of the ball was distributed during the first minutes of the game, with La Florida’s men well positioned in the center of the field. Aued signed an opaque start in which his name had little or no influence on the game. He was absent and then imprecise.
The difference was in what each team did while they had the ball at their feet. While Audax did not deepen and kept it in its area, the Crusaders were quickly looking for the Devecchi arch, heading to the right to take advantage of the Fuenzalida-Lezcano tandem, which has worked so well so far. The UC captain, the best right-back in the Tournament, shows off his versatility to function almost as an extra pointer, taking turns with the Cat entering the area with the dominated ball. On the contrary, the action in the left band depends only on what Puch does alone, Rebolledo failing to imitate the role that Chapa fulfills for his area.
It was Puch who first tried Devecchi’s hands at 22 ‘. The attempts were timid, but much clearer than those of Audax, who enjoyed a certain sense of danger only when Dituro missed an exit with his feet. Either way, every attempt by the Audina squad was suppressed by a solid last line crossed, with Huerta as its main figure. The former Huachipato completed one of his best games as a central defender, thus becoming an essential player in the defense.
The advantage provided by the superiority of names, games and ideas is manifested in contexts such as those that involved the opening of the Pinares account. It didn’t take long for a spark from one of his figures to mark the path to triumph. On the 14th of the Crusaders he received from the left, hooked towards the center twice, and with a left foot he decreed the 1-0.
The goal hit Audax, who 10 minutes later was charged a controversial penalty against. Puch fell into the area after contesting a ball with Devecchi and Francisco Gilabert did not hesitate to collect the maximum penalty. Despite the green claims, the referee did not change his decision. Aued made it 2-0.
Less than a minute passed for UC 3-0 and the end of the game. Those on the fringe quickly recovered the ball, leaned to the right and the Lezcano-Fuenzalida combination ended with Chapa provoking an own goal from Torres.
The second time was a procedure. Without too many occasions, with UC playing without pressure and Audax Italiano surrendered to a result that was almost impossible to reverse. The two-time Chilean soccer champion continues at a firm pace at the top of the table.
