Colo Colo showered the victory against Huachipato and ended up drawing 2-2 during his visit to the CAP Stadium in Talcahuano, so he continues far away at the bottom of the National Championship standings, three points from Deportes La Serena, his next rival.
The “albos” played a large part of the match with a one more man for the expulsion of Juan Sánchez Sotelo and unbeatable options were lost in the second half.
The cast “Albo” came out with everything in this commitment, since in the first minute he took the lead through Leonardo Valencia, who scored after three months and added his sixth victory in the tournament.
The “Cacique” had an inspired Matías Fernández at the start, who participated in the most dangerous plays and showed a clear improvement in physical appearance, being a source of football generation.
Despite this, the “steels” did not shrink and managed to tie the duel in 24 minutes, with a conquest by Sánchez Sotelo, who took advantage of a floating ball in the “popular” area and scored.
Similarly, Gustavo Quinteros’ squad reacted quickly and went ahead again on the scoreboard, thanks to Maximiliano Falcón, who scored his first goal for the club with a header (28 ‘).
The expulsion of Sánchez Sotelo and the waste “albo”
In the 34 ‘came the incident that seemed to condition the commitment, since after a strong entry on Nicolás Blandi, Sánchez Sotelo saw the red, after a review in the VAR, and left his team with 10, which lost 2-0.
Despite this situation, the “steelers” proposed a duel on an equal footing, and good scoring chances were generated, warning that if Colo Colo did not close the game he would suffer.
Quinteros arranged changes in offense and included debutants Pablo Solari and Ignacio Jara, in addition to Javier Parraguez, who had a great chance hand in hand to sentence the story, but ended up defining badly and leaving the locals alive.
The “steelmakers” took the gift and got the final equality 2-2 with a header from Claudio Sepúlveda (70 ‘), having a chance to Joffré Escobar even to win it, but getting in the end a very valuable point for the process of the match.
On the next day, Colo Colo will host La Serena in a key match in search of reaching them in the penultimate place, which will be played on Tuesday, while Huachipato will face O’Higgins in Rancagua.
