University of Chile continues on the path to victory in the National Championship, after beating 3-1 as a visitor to Sports Copiapóat the Luis Valenzuela Hermosilla stadium.
The blues wanted to maintain what they showed more than a week ago, in the victory against Audax Italiano, with the pressure, in addition, that they are days away from a new Superclásico against Colo Colo, where the blues carried out the task.
A first half that had emotions in both goals, but where it was Deportes Copiapó who went ahead to open the scoring in their own stronghold.
After a bad mark by Marcelo Morales, Gabriel Castellón came out late to close down Felipe Reynero, and converted a penalty, in a situation that the match referee did not doubt.

It was in the 24th minute that Tobías Figueroa scored a penalty, where the blue goalkeeper touched the ball, but on the rebound it hit the post and went into the goal for 1-0.
Worse, the U knew how to get up quickly with movements in their forward line, where after a cross from Fernández, only Cristián Palacios was left in the area, to define the 1-1.
After this the blues went up where first Maxi Guerrero and then Morales, who hit the ball in the horizontal, looked for the second goal for those led by Gustavo Álvarez.
The second half started in the best way for the U, since after a great combination between Lea Fernández and Palacios, the Argentine took the opportunity to enable Maxi Guerrero, who with a touch made it 2-1 in the 54th minute.
