For the calculator, a point that is of little use and nothing. For the mind and soul, Colo Colo’s draw at Universidad Católica is worth a lot, after all the omens of a simple victory for the locals. The logic, as so many times in football, did not happen. Because in a match where the table did not play, crusaders and albos tied without goals in the most important match of the weekend.
That difference of 24 points was not seen. Of the supremacy of the pointer over the absolute bottom, nothing. That was the most surprising thing about the first half in San Carlos de Apoquindo. The only striking thing in a game that did not meet expectations, especially from the crossed fans, who, beyond the anti-muffs and superstitions, expected their team to pass over the albos.
Far from that, Colo Colo managed to match the process of the match. And it even created better options (to put it generously) than homeowners. Because until 20 minutes, the areas seemed closed, except for some centers of easy resolution for the defenses. Schemes with no news in both squads. But UC, perhaps still battered by its elimination from the Copa Sudamericana, suffered from the imprecision of its players. Erratic, anticipated departures, something of the student spark was only seen when Chapa Fuenzalida caught on the right. But it was just that, sparks.
And of course, in that mutual cancellation process, the Chief felt more comfortable. Playing more concerned with his own arc, which was extended (and accentuated) for the second half. A libretto from boy to girl, what now remains for the albos, in their precarious condition. Because Catholic something more dared in the complement and his ambition to win was noticed in the change of Holan, who sent Buonanotte in and pushed Fuenzalida back to the right side. A known formula, in any case, that did not permeate the visiting defense, led by Falcón, who plays at a different speed and delivers in relation to his teammates.
Not only that. A right hand from Costa entering the area was until well into the second half the best goal chance of the game. How that goal would have been shouted in the houses of the popular box. The zero, however, remained and the game became increasingly flat. The illusion that something could happen reached 75 ′, with the re-release of Mago Valdivia in Colo Colo, replacing the injured Valencia. But the creative had little contact with the ball and barely set foot on the court, Saavedra stuck with him.
In the epilogue, with the UC turned on the opponent’s field, Valencia did not connect well with a header almost in the small area. If that one didn’t fit, neither would. Let Costa and Valencia himself say so, who when there was nothing left found the saves of Dituro and Cortés (brilliant), to preserve the zero in the foothills. This is how the tie was signed, which left more happy faces in the Cacique’s ranks. A point for morale, yes, but that perhaps comes too late, because in addition and subtraction, in cold numbers, Colo Colo is still sunk at the bottom of the table and with the First B just around the corner.
