Colo Colo failed to overcome his deficient current campaign and could only return with a goalless draw from his visit to La Calera, where he showed more pride than football improvement.
The first half was mediocre in its technical level, although at times Unión La Calera wore the dapper game that has allowed him to climb to the top of the table, as one of the leading escorts of the tournament. On the other hand, with just 8 points, the Albo team maintained its usual football poverty of the last half and the low collective level that it showed in the defeat against O’Higgins on the previous date.
On this occasion, Colo Colo appealed to an alternative formation, with players who had not acted in the recent Superclásico with the “U”, because on Tuesday he will have to face an even more demanding commitment, against Peñarol for the Copa Libertadores.
External problems, such as the legal situation of midfielder Leo Valencia and the continuity in doubt of coach Gualberto Jara, also affect a Colo Colo that is going through a serious crisis and that could even determine a change of coach during the next week.
The second stage gained in intensity and the fight was more attractive, the collective consistency of the Caleranos prevailing over the individual arrests of the Albos. In any case, the dispute was concentrated in the midfield and the chances of scoring were scarce. Coach Jara tried to improve his luck with some changes, but this was not enough to give him the density of the game that fans long for. At 82 ‘, a shot from Soto was deflected by local goalkeeper Arias with a slap on a lone chance to score. And at 85 ‘, a shot from Wiemberg hit the crossbar.
With the natural tiredness of the lack of competitive rhythm, the game ultimately did not offer many emotions and, as a result, the 0-0 was the “best punishment” for the poverty of the show.
