Unión La Calera traveled north to face Cobresal with the illusion of being only one point behind the leader, Universidad Católica, but it was barely enough to take a draw at one point. The result did not serve the miners much either, considering their claims to join the Copa Sudamericana.
The meeting got off to a dizzying start. At 13 minutes, Marcelo Cañete launched a cross to the heart of the area so that Óscar Salinas received his chest and, without letting it fall, send the ball to the bottom of Arias’ goal with a perfect scissors. Cobresal surprised by partially defeating the second best team of the tournament.
It took 50 minutes for Jeisson Vargas to come to the aid and score his third goal in two games after having converted 2 to Audax Italiano. Gonzalo Castellani put on 10 to deliver a filtered pass to the former Catholic University, who kicked hard with his left foot and decreed the equalizer at one goal.
In the following minutes, the figures of the goalkeepers stood out. Arias grabbed a shot from Salinas and Leandro Requena did the same with a shot from Thomas Rodríguez. After those arrivals, the match got stuck, with many inaccuracies by both teams and difficulties in putting together plays in the last rival line, but the three points were for both.
At the end of the match, the goalkeepers returned to prominence. At 88 ‘, Jeisson Vargas had the opportunity with a very well executed free kick and Requena had to stretch to hand the ball. A minute later, Arias half-deflected a header that surprised the Caleranos, but Cobresal was not precise to get the rebound.
The tie at one point ended up being the final one and the Caleranos had to settle for 55 points, remaining 3 behind the Catholic University. Contrary to many other direct rivals within the general table, cement producers and crusaders have the same number of games played and pending.
Despite equalizing a goal with the leader’s escort, the point won left Cobresal in twelfth place, with 37 points, 4 from the Copa Sudamericana qualifying zone.
The next game in the case of La Calera to catch up will be to receive Deportes Iquique, which is complicated in both tables, on Thursday at 8:00 p.m. In turn, Cobresal will visit the also poorly positioned Coquimbo Unido, on the first Thursday in February at 8:00 p.m.
