Unión Española delivered a painful 5-3 defeat to Colo Colo, coming back in the second half, and deepened its crisis, leaving them penultimate in the standings, with only 10 points, just one above the bottom-end Deportes La Serena.
The Uruguayan Cristian Palacios was the great figure of this commitment with a triplet and guided the Hispanics to the sub-leadership.
The “Cacique” started with everything in the meeting and he took advantage just two minutes, with a good play by Gabriel Costa and Gabriel Suazo, which closed Esteban Paredes through the center of the arch.
The “reds” were not far behind and they equaled the game in 24 ‘with a goal from Cristian Palacios, although the joy did not last long, since Suazo again overtook the “albos” in the 28 ‘.
The story was repeated later, since the own “charrúa” Palacios marked of penalty to the 41 ‘, but again the locals reflected their improvement and they took the lead at the end of the first half, thanks to Costa (43 ‘).
Colo Colo physically fell in the second half
In the complement, the “Popular” again showed problems in his physical preparation, which he could last only 14 minutes, when again Cristian Palacios scored 3-3, completed a “hat trick” and installed as a scorer in the National Championship, with 12 goals, along with Joaquín Larrivey.
That was too hard a blow for Colo Colo and a very important incentive for the cast of Ronald Fuentes, who from there was a unilateral dominator and He was able to seal a great victory with a goal from Misael Dávila (69 ‘) and a goal from Carlos Palacios (76’).
It is the seventh consecutive game in the local tournament in which he does not win and the seventh time in history in which he has received five goals in Pedreros, so from any point of view it is a very strong blow.
Now, Gustavo Quinteros, who has not won games in command of the team, will have to prepare the duel against Jorge Wilstermann, next week, where they will play their way to the last 16 of the Copa Libertadores or, at least, stay with a place in the South American.
Unión Española, meanwhile, will seek to continue with its inspired present next Wednesday against Cobresal.
