Colo Colo 3-5 Spanish Union ONE to ONE: GOALS and SUMMARY for the 15th date of the 2020 National Championship from the Monumental Stadium

Brayan Cortés: He finished with five goals against, so it is impossible to speak of a correct match. Now, the defensive errors that are being seen would make even the best in the world have a hard time in his position. We said it a few weeks ago, the issue is not going through the goalkeeper, but because of the poor football background that is being seen in the rear.

Oscar Opazo: Very low game, one of the poorest points of the team. In the second half, it was on his wing that the rival did the most damage, leaving 3-3 from Palacios and 4-3 from Dávila from that area. It is also something that has been sustained over time, but it is worth saying that it is still not the shadow of the player who went to the last Copa América with La Roja.

Jeyson Rojas: He paid for the years of youth by playing back with Cortés without seeing that Palacios was close, being directly responsible in the temporary 2-2. For more shot, he deflected the ball in Carlos Palacios’s goal, sealing a nightmare match. He is young, so it only remains to grow from these bad experiences.

Juan Manuel Insaurralde: Won several crosses and cut some deep passes in the first half. Starting the second half, he even decided to go up a few meters, pass a couple of players and finish with a center that could generate more danger. Unfortunately in the one that mattered the most, it left much to be desired; on the mark in Palacios’ transitory 3-3 tie. After that it was a passageway, losing a lot of security in defense.

Bryan Véjar: Another that had a discreet game, being inconsequential in attack and not very strong in defense. They gave him the starting jersey in two games and it seems that he simply does not want it, which is a matter of time before he ends up returning it to Quinteros.

Cesar Fuentes: Another bass, which simply collapsed in the second half after a somewhat more decent first half. He succumbed in midfield to Víctor Méndez and Sandoval. He had been one of the most valued elements in the team, but he has not been able to sustain it. He would be replaced to finish sealing a discreet match.

Gabriel Suazo: He got on in a very good way with Costa, receiving and throwing a precise cross so that Paredes scored 1-0. He read the 2-1 play formidably, entering the area furiously to finish off with the right hand and convert the goal. The clearest in the midfield in the first half, but for a change it was not enough, being one of those who disappeared in the first second half.

Provost Branch: A lot of running around, but little presence in the cut and little clarity to try to build something in attack. He ended up being replaced to give the midfield some more freshness.

Marcos Bolados: Perhaps the “lowest” of the offensive trident, but he still managed to gain speed and throw the center to Costa that ended in the transitional 3-2. In the second half he did not stay, but he lacked ideas to be more decisive, especially in the first minutes when there was still some gasoline in the team.

Gabriel Costa: Precise in time and space to combine well with Suazo in Paredes 1-0. In the 2-1 he took the center to Paredes that ended in Suazo’s goal. He dressed as the best of the center-forwards to score the transitional 3-2 with a header before the end of the first half. The figure of the team, perhaps the first reinforcement of the era of Gustavo Quinteros in Colo Colo. In the midst of the storm, it is appreciated to see that at least something is gained in the attack to the target.

Esteban Paredes: Psychological goal that he scored in the first minutes of the game, ending in a good way the play started by Costa and Suazo. He nodded to Suazo himself for 2-1. All good in the first half, but in the second half he was the one who suffered the most with the collapse of the team, since he simply did not get any, leaving him orphaned in the attack. As long as he continues to convert the goals, he will be the starter, especially when he sees the very poor role of his replacement.

Joan Cruz: One of the youths who is seeing emergency action due to the large number of injuries. He could not gravitate in the midfield, since just a few minutes after his entry the 4-3 fell for Unión, at which point the collapse in the Cacique began.

Nicolás Blandi: His lack of initiative and rebellion despair when he sees Colo Colo defeated. He practically did not touch the ball, wandering like a living dead in the target attack. It is not possible for a 40-year-old player to show more vitality in the position, especially for the price paid for him. Either we begin to see a different attitude or simply his passage through the Cacique could be cut sooner rather than later.

Bryan Soto: He entered through Fuentes when the match process was sealed, having little space to do something in the midfield, especially when he saw the disorder in which the team became in the final minutes.

Gustavo Quinteros: Their alarming diagnosis is appreciated once the match is over, stating that they are barely there to compete in the first 45 minutes of play, making clear the terrible physical and football work that has been done in Colo Colo during 2020, first with Mario Salas and later with Gualberto Jara. It will be necessary to see if it has the capacity to lift this ship that is sinking more and more. His goal was to finish in the top seven to achieve a ticket to an international cup, but with what he saw in the second half against Unión Española, it is seen as an almost impossible goal.
