Unión Española is one of the best casts in the championship. He proved it at the Monumental. Despite the fact that Colo Colo was in advantage three times during the game, the Hispanics knew how to overcome it and turned it around to win and stay ahead. It was an entertaining 3-5.
It was a party of decimated casts. Both the whites and the reds had significant casualties, which had to patch the holes they had. In the case of Cacique, the absences of Valencia and Fernández forced Quinteros to raise a cast without a link to appeal the direct attack. Three flyers in the middle and two pointers to supply Paredes. If it comes to drawing, Union’s was similar, although with better ball handling in the middle. The black mark of the Hispanics was their defense. That same one that stood out for its solidity, showed permeability without Gómez, Cummings and Mancilla. Each Albo attack was a headache for the visitor, paying the costs of an improvised line of four.
Barely three minutes passed for the opening of Paredes’s account, appearing only in the center of the area. As the minutes passed, Union settled into Macul and took control of the ball. In that sense, what Carlos Palacios brings to the red attack is fundamental. A great assist from the renquino allowed the other Palacios, Cristian, to make it 1-1. The joy of the visiting bank did not last long. Four minutes later, Suazo lunges into the area to convert. Merit for the pivoting of Paredes.
Jeyson Rojas is one of the youth with the most projection in the Cacique. Part of his learning is also making some mistakes during the game. The tall center-back missed a back pass, causing Cortés to commit a penalty. No one claimed. The lack was obvious. The Uruguayan stood in front of goal and scored. Union found the tie thanks to a gift. However, it again failed to hold parity. Just three minutes later, leaving spaces behind, Costa headed for 3-2. It was an open game with an uncertain prognosis.
Precisely, those doubts at the time of defending allowed a moved match. The strength in their bands and a better participation of the Colombian Mejía gave Unión a boost to overcome the figures. Those of Independence were totally right with the Uruguayan Palacios. The striker made the triplet with a header to the near post of Cortés. It is the best of the championship. Unión was superior to Colo Colo in the second period, both in football and physically. The premises were sold out and the visitors dealt deep blows. Dávila made the fourth with a left foot and the fifth came from Carlos Palacios, helped by a detour.
To all this, Nicolás Blandi entered the albos, replacing Paredes. I touch the ball little and nothing.
Quinteros will have to keep working hard to give his squad more solidity and physical background. One point for DT is that he got Gabriel Costa back. On the opposite side, Unión reaffirms its very good post-confinement performance and that the leadership of Universidad Católica is lurking. They stayed with a unit of the Crusaders, who must visit Curicó. Those of Ronald Fuentes have something to fight with.
