This Sunday at 3:00 p.m., Ñublense will play for qualification to the next round of the Copa Chile, facing Rangers at the Nelson Oyarzún Arenas stadium in Chillán.
After drawing 1-1 in the first leg, played at the Fiscal stadium in Talca, the “red devils” need to win to qualify.
If they draw by any score, the decision will be decided by penalty kicks, and if they lose, they will say goodbye to the traditional competition.
Last year, Rojo was eliminated by the secretariat following not including Manuel Rivera, a midfielder who replaced Jorge Henríquez, in the match once morest Comunal Cabrero, which they won 3-0 on the field.
This time, coach Mario Salas hopes to secure a ticket to the next phase, although he admits that it will be a tough decision.
“The first leg was very tough. Rangers has a great squad that was designed to go up to the First Division and we know that it will be a difficult final. We will go all out to try to qualify with the support of our people in Chillán,” reflected the “Commander.”
“Rangers were strong on their pitch and made things difficult for us with a squad of players with experience and background in football. We need to win in Chillán because it is our priority,” he concluded.
“It will be a difficult match and it will help us to see which positions are not lacking players. The idea is to be able to unbalance the outside to feed the players who go to the center like Gotti. We have to reinforce the squad for next year,” said Emiliano Astorga, Rangers coach and former DT of Ñublense.
For this match, Mario Salas is expected to use the vast majority of his starting players to try to secure qualification.
In this sense, Lorenzo Reyes, Bernardo Cerezo, Manuel Rivera and Gabriel Graciani might return to the starting team.
The Talca team will arrive with its best contingent to surprise Ñublense at the Nelson Oyarzún Arenas stadium in Chillán.
The equalizing goal in Talca was scored by Marcos Plaza, who would start this match with the hope of scoring another great goal like he did in the Maule Region.
A good crowd is expected for this Sunday’s matchday, as fans are betting on the “red devils” qualifying.
