colo colo celebrated this Sunday at the Monumental Stadium by winning without major complications by 1-0 to Sports Antofagastaremaining as solid solo leaders of the National Championship.
The difference in positions in the table was noted on the field of the Macul campus. The albos had a good number of opportunities to have taken an early lead in the match, with two chances Alexander Oroz could not convert in front of the goal Diego Sanchez.
Also about half an hour of play were Esteban Pavez and Juan Martin Lucero those who regretted not being able to overcome the resistance of “Mono”, while at the other end Brayan Cortés did not have any major difficulties due to the lack of clarity of the visit to attack.
The “Cacique” gale was sustained at the start of the second half, and only three minutes into that period was the Lucero the one with a frontal right and from mid-distance he opened the account on the “Pumas”.
The possibility of a comeback did not take place for the northerners, since at 54′ Andrés Robles was sent off for a double yellow card and conditioned his team by leaving them with 10 players for the rest of the game.
It was a monologue what happened on the pitch towards the final whistle, where “Popular” could even have increased the difference in his favor but lacked precision with Lucero or Cristián Zavala, who saw action from the complement.
In this way, Colo Colo added 45 points in the first position of the table, gaining more confidence in the face of their next match, against Palestinian.
Antofagasta as it continues stuck in penultimate place with 18 units, missing the chance to get out of the relegation zone before having to meet La Calera.
