With the goal, UC gained confidence and continued with possession, having two more chances to increase the lead: another shot from Zampedri, which crashed into the post, and a powerful right hand from Marcelino Núñez that was stopped by goalkeeper Gastón Olveira .
UC, however, got complicated after half an hour. Zampedri was affected after a hard clash with defender Guzmán Rodríguez. The Uruguayan, despite suffering a cut on his head and visibly bloody, continued without problems; the “Bull”, on the other hand, felt the effects of the blow.
Just before the break, the cross defense fell asleep. Sebastián Píriz scored the 1-1 draw with a header, and just before the whistle of the referee Matías Arezo almost scored the second, after a huge cover by Dituro.
The UC regained control after an Aued penalty
In the second half, Zampedri stayed on the bench due to the blow he suffered and Ariel Holan moved chips to regain possession against the Uruguayans.
In the first instance, the changes did not work, due to defensive problems, since both Alfonso Parot and Juan Cornejo could not coordinate to protect the left sector of the rear.
When it seemed that the UC could not find the way out of the uruguay siegeor, a penalty came in favor, after a hand in Rive’s arear. Luciano Aued took responsibility, in the absence of Zampedri, and decreed the 1-2.

With the advantage, Holan’s pupils again took confidence and the game was balanced. River Plate bet with offensive changes, but Universidad Católica resisted, affirmed its defense and even had the chance to score a third in the last minute, with a shot from Cornejo that was deflected by goalkeeper Olveira.
With the two away goals, UC is left with the first option to advance to the quarterfinals of the continental tournament. That quota will be defined on Thursday, December 3 in San Carlos de Apoquindo.
