If he won, Colo Colo could breathe a little more easily. Audax’s draw against O’Higgins, with a penalty missed by Holgado, had been key. However, the Cacique did not comply with an Iquique that continues to sink. It was 0-0 in the north, for matchday 32 of the National Tournament, and albos continue in the penultimate position.
In the first half, the tendency of both teams was to exploit the bands. Colo Colo took advantage of Solari’s speed, which always bothered Saavedra. Just the Argentine won in a duel and gave the ball to Matías, who in the middle finished off the body of Pérez. But the former Talleres also fought back, helping Carmona and Fuentes.
The arrival of Fernández then gave a very clear chance for Iquique. Thanks to the overflows of Fuentes in the Rojas sector, Ramos was close to opening the scoring. However, he could not define well because he found the ball after a rebound from Cortés. Gutiérrez, the white youth squad who is on loan, also bothered De la Fuente in his eagerness to search for Donoso.
The former U penquista just managed to project after 35 minutes, realizing that his level is still too poor. Higher up, Mouche also showed little. Once again. Only towards the end did he reach the bottom line after joining Morales, but the play was not much successful. The same thing that happened in the face to face that the 18 had with Aveldaño.
In the complement, Iquique started better. At 48 ‘, Donoso converted after a great play by Fuentes. The winger again surpassed the mark of Rojas and enabled the prodigious attacker, who only had to push the ball. The unfortunate thing, for the Celestial Dragons, was that there was a minimal position of advancement. The VAR helped Cabero confirm his decision.
Colo Colo replied 10 ‘later. With few collective ideas, Solari took center stage. He appeared on the right, eluded a couple of rivals and took a powerful shot, but Zanahoria Pérez resolved in a great way. As the minutes passed, Quinteros opted for Valencia instead of Matías, who seemed exhausted and with some physical discomfort.
The result? There simply wasn’t. Colo Colo only managed to get closer with a shot from Mouche in the 77th minute. Neither the income of Parraguez contributed. It only served to have more people in attack, where Solari, who had been replaced by Véjar, was no longer. Those of Quinteros, yes, suffered in agony. Mainero could be the hero after scoring, but he was offside before his intervention. To that was added a furious shot by Fernández, which Cortés only managed to look at. The tie was 0-0, and so everything continues in the same way …
