Ñublense will take to the field at the Tucapel Bustamante stadium at 7 p.m. to relive an old classic once morest Deportes Linares in the match valid for the first leg of the semifinal of the southern zone of the Copa Chile.

The team led by Mario Salas will seek to take advantage and then close at home and thus get into the final of the southern zone, in a tournament where the “Rojo” has shown great performances and where it is already a few steps away from the round of the four best.

The Chillanejos reached the semi-finals following beating Rangers 5-1 on aggregate, where they won at home 4-0, demonstrating a great level once morest the Maule team, who in the first match had managed to tie once morest the “Devil”.

For its part, Linares, which is ninth in the Chilean Second Division, managed to reach the top four in the zone following beating Universidad de Concepción 1-0 on aggregate.

It is worth noting that the stadium where the match will be played has a lot of history with the “Rojo”, since it was there that in 2008 they played at home during the remodeling of the Nelson Oyarzún. In that season, under the guidance of Fernando Díaz, they managed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana of the same year.

The “Devil” will seek to reach the final of the southern zone where it might face Deportes Temuco, Imperial Unido or Huachipato, the latter team delayed the zone because it might not play the first phase once morest Presidente Ibañez, since the strong weather conditions made it impossible to play the key.
