In a moving meeting, Colo Colo defeated Universidad Católica 1-0 in the Monumental Stadium and was crowned winner of the North Central Zone of the Chile Cupwith the corresponding classification to the national semifinals.

The beginning began with fire from both sides, although it was reflected in more energy and desire than clarity to reach the goals. The promising action of the first minutes was cut short with a “cross” drop, a situation that gave way to white handling.

Damian Pizarro received without a mark, entered the area and defined from below to put the only number of the game in the 25th minute. Jordhy Thompson was an important factor, with several overflows and watermarks.

Then, following half an hour, the two teams regretted injuries: Óscar Opazo in Colo Colo and Guillermo Burdisso in Católica. César Fuentes and Eugenio Mena took their places.

The impotence of the UC was unleashed with reactions once morest the colocolinos players. A great discussion broke out over Alexander Aravena’s unnecessary grabbing of Maximiliano Falcón off the pitch. Even Gustavo Quinteros intervened to calm things down.

In the second half, the dominance of Gustavo Quinteros’s men continued, who surrounded those led by Nicolás Núñez. The pre-Andean team was unable to get out of their field, except for hits that were useless. Alan Saldivia annulled Fernando Zampedri in a good way.

The “popular” wasted several clear chances to increase the score and seal the series, but bad executions and a couple of saves by Nicolás Peranic left uncertainty open.

Although the UC woke up in the discounts and generated danger at the feet of the youthful Jorge Ortiz, who came on from the bench, the reaction was late and insufficient to equalize. Falcón saved his squad with a providential intervention when Cristián Cuevas defined from the far post (90+3′).

This way, Colo Colo will play the national semifinals, where he waits for the winner of the North key between Cobresal and Cobreloa.
