Colo Colo 1-3 Palestino: GOALS and SUMMARY of the match by date 18 of the 2020 National Championship

Hope to see Colo Colo behind the victory against Antofagasta last Tuesday was great in the Albos fans, since a victory this day against Palestinian fed convictions to leave bad times in the past and this anguishing struggle not to descend in this National Championship 2020.

Unfortunately, what was seen on the La Cisterna field was far from that, with a Colo Colo who was beaten 3-1 on the scoreboard and showing a very low level of play, unrecognizable if compared to what was seen a few days ago against the pumas.

The party process began quickly adverse for the Cacique, with a good a deep pass from Carlos Villanueva to Guillermo Soto on the right, who crossed for Jonathan Benítez to send the ball to the back of the net anticipating the dewatering of Miguel Pinto. The last line was badly stopped and it was already falling 1-0 with 8 minutes left.

The albos tried to answer, but without elaborating greater danger for the arch defended by Federico Lanzillota, who, rounding out the first quarter of an hour of play, had no more work on the La Cisterna lawn.

The Cacique lacked a greater generation of play in the midfield, with inconsequential Branco Provoste Y Gabriel Suazo, what did to that up Costa, Parraguez and Valencia they were orphans when it came to seeking the goal of equality.

At 21 ‘the lack of control in the substitute bench became palpable, since Gustavo Quinteros I know he was expelled due to his constant claims considering that the albos should receive the ball by fairplay in a previous play with Costa. Colo Colo was left without his coach and with a whole game ahead.

The duel was controlled by Palestino, who with Villanueva and Jiménez managed to circulate the ball, but without greater danger to Miguel Pinto’s goal. Just at 36 ‘they approached with a distance shot from César Cortés that was deflected after a free kick from Villanueva himself that hit the colocolina barrier.

Near the end of the first half, at 44 ‘, Jonathan Benítez had the 2-0 score for Palestino on his feet when he faced only Miguel Pinto, but he raised his balloon missing a clear goal opportunity. Colo Colo was saved and with that we went to rest.

A LOUSY COLO COLO

Starting the second half quickly, the first changes were made in Colo Colo, with Esteban Paredes’ income with Pablo Mouche replacing Branco Provoste and Leonardo Valencia.

El Cacique continued with his game generation problems, without taking control of the ball in the midfield. Again Jiménez and Villanueva controlled the threads of the party, with the help of Farias a few meters behind.

With 65 ‘the first clear goal option from Colo Colo just arrived, with a Opazo center that defined horrible Paredes, who was unmarked at the entrance of the small area. The ball went very high in what was the tie for the albos. Palestino responded a couple of minutes later with a shot from Vicente Fernández that went over the top.

With 72 ‘on the clock he entered Ronald de la Fuente for Óscar Opazo, who was injured in his right knee. After cardboard finally came the joy for Colo Colo at 75 ‘through Juan Manuel Insaurralde, who headed a perfect Mouche corner kick to score the temporary 1-1 at La Cisterna. Final minutes of fear were coming between the albos and the Arabs.

This was demonstrated in the 78 ‘, when Miguel Pinto came out to cut a ball and collided with Fernández. The play was doubtful, but the referee Juan Lara decided to charge a penalty without even going to see her at the VAR. In front of the ball he stood Agustín Farias, who changed the action for a goal to put Palestino 2-1 above the scoreboard.

Williams Alarcón entered at 84 ‘for César Fuentes, trying to find more clarity in the white midfield. Minutes later Matías Campos López would score the final 3-1 on the scoreboard, sealing a horrible match for Colo Colo at La Cisterna.

A result that hurts from the way it fell, because there was the illusion that this team only had to improve after what was seen against Antofagasta a few days ago, by the level of that rival and by how he was coming today, since with this victory Palestinian ended a streak of six consecutive defeats. With this there is no other choice but to accept reality, forget about cupid dreams and look ahead in what will be an agonizing struggle not to descend. The truth is, that for now, he missed the first of 16 finals to maintain the category.
