The University of Chile missed a unique opportunity to arrive with confidence at the Superclásico against Colo Colo, this Sunday. He lengthened the undefeated that he had maintained since before the National Championship was suspended, consisting of four victories and just two draws, but he relived those dark moments of the 2019 season, when results that seemed closed ended up exploding in their faces. This happened today against Palestino, who managed to tie a 0-2 that seemed sealed.
Five months later, the U showed a completely different image than what it had been doing before the Covid-19 pandemic. The circumstances are abnormal and strange, hence Caputto’s pragmatism in proposing the return party. The exporter knew that the Arabs have in their establishment technical quality to spare as to complicate their managers; there was no point risking the good position at the table playing as if the quarantine had never existed.
So the U gave up the football and waited. That those of La Cisterna – now local in San Carlos de Apoquindo – did the wear. Let it be her sides that tire her legs with lunges from the bands. The blue midfield town, commanded mainly by Montillo, would be more concerned with cutting the game than generating it. The long exit of De Paul looking for Guerra and Larrivey would be the attack plan, the formula to reach the goal.
Palestino dominated on the flanks, maintained possession for the ball and enjoyed the best opportunities. The central trident – Jiménez, Farías and Cortés – marked the times and rhythm of the match. But they did not specify in front of the arc. Basay’s attack record made up just a couple of shots deflected from the middle.
The university students, faithful to their conservatism, found the opening of the account according to the established: long serve until Guerra, pivoting by Larrivey and left-footed by Montillo to score his first goal with the U after 10 years. Somewhat made easier by Acevedo’s rude mistake when intercepting the goal kick.
The goal threw down the intensity with which Palestino was looking for the rival goal. His speed decreased and the lay team began to enjoy their best passages on the Las Condes court. At the beginning of the second half, they even had the luxury of advancing the lines and pressing more in attack. This trend materialized with Larrivey’s 0-2, again thanks to a defensive error
The U rested on a result that it hardly sought. He stopped playing, underestimating the opponent’s reaction. He allowed Palestino to get on him. Larrivey was replaced after the physical insufficiency of the Argentine striker became notorious throughout the match. The colony box began to monopolize the area around the blue area and managed to scratch the discount at 79 ′ thanks to a personal move by Benegas.
Caputto moved the bench. He took out Aránguiz, Guerra and Montillo. Martínez, Henríquez and Espinoza entered. However, those led by Basay kept the pressure on De Paul’s arc. Jiménez and a splendid scissors portrayed the meanness of the U, decreed the tie and brought back the nightmares of the U lived last year.
