Starting the date 15 of the National Championship, Curicó Unido struck and defeated Colo Colo 0-1 in the Monumental Stadium to take a breath of air in the last places from the table.
The match was characterized, especially in the initial stage, by the lack of depth and emotions, since neither of the two teams might disturb the rival. The poor show had a clear genius with the only goal of the day.
On a target from another game, Jason Flores (38′) scored with a pumped shot and straight into the corner Fernando de Paul’s left, who might only see the ball slip into his goal.

The contest did not have much more before the break. The “torteros” waited on their land to search once morest a “Cacique” who wanted to arrive with balls. Both strategies were ineffective.
In the second half, Gustavo Quinteros’ men gained more meters on the field and got a bit more involved in the associated game, but they failed to disturb, despite reaching the bottom line and having various corner kicks in their favor. In general, the Chilean champion never found the key to a good performance.
The slope became even steeper for the “popular” team, as Maximiliano Falcón was sent off at minute 64 following a review in the VAR. In the first instance, “Peluca” saw a yellow card, but referee Diego Flores changed his determination when he saw his entry on Nicolás Barrios on the monitor.

In the final stretch, the Colocolino attack woke up, with some preparations for good plays. Unfortunately for him, the plays came to nothing when facing the tight defense set up by Damián Muñoz, with the mission of maintaining the advantage.
The people of the capital desperately sought equality until the end, finding clearances, a couple of interventions by Fabián Cerda added to rebounds and wasted attacks by Curicó.
Curicó Unido remained 14th, but reached 16 points and took a breather, as they were just a short distance away from finishing the first round outside the relegation zone. Only a great win by Copiapó with a five-goal advantage over Everton would lower them.
Colo Colo was left with 23 points in third position and might drop several placesdepending on the development in the rest of the date. He also added many doubts regarding the visit to Monagas de Venezuela for the Copa Libertadores next May 23.
