Universidad Católica defeated Deportes Antofagasta 5-3 in a “war of goals” and ratified its exclusive leadership in the National Championship, adding 45 points and taking off three from Unión La Calera.
It was a great game in San Carlos de Apoquindo, which at 15 minutes already had two goals: The opening of the José Pedro Fuenzalida with a powerful shot from outside the box (5 ‘) and Tobías Figueroa’s header tied (12’).
However, the “crusaders” made a difference before halftime, with Fuenzalida’s annotations again, after an extensive review in the VAR (26 ‘) and Válber Huerta (32’).
It seemed that the game was already on its way for the Pre-Andean team, but the “pumas” fought in the second half, although they always encountered local force.
In the 51 ‘a very doubtful goal to Figueroa was annulled, but four minutes later Gonzalo Freitas managed to discount, although UC was able to stretch distances again in 58’ with a goal from Juan Fuentes, which was released on the networks with the “fringe” (58 ‘).
The best visitor moment came in the final minutes, given that Felipe Flores shortened the gap with a rebound, after missing a penalty (80 ‘) and they had the tie with a play by Eduard Bello, who eluded the goalkeeper Matías Dituro, but he missed (87 ‘), which ended up paying dearly, because UC killed the match with a maximum penalty from Fernando Zampedri (90’).
Now, the cast of Ariel Holan will have to prepare their duel this Thursday against River Plate of Uruguay for the South American Cup, while in the National Championship their next season will be the student classic against U. of Chile.
For its part, Antofagasta will receive Palestino in their next match, in two more weeks, since next weekend there is no football for the primary elections.
