translated from Spanish: O’Higgins won over the end to Union and climbs to third place in the Championship

O’Higgins found himself on the end on Friday with the 1-0 home win over Unión Española, at the start of the 19th date of the National Championship at the Estadio Santa Laura, a result that allows the rancag-ins to climb the third lug of the tournament. Third consecutive victory for the draw that directs Marco Antonio Figueroa, previously beat Colo Colo and Deportes Iquique, which allows him to reach 30 points and enter the qualifying area for the Copa Libertadores 2020. The flip side of the coin is the Hispanic draw, which added its tenth consecutive game without winning and stalls on the table. The squad of an increasingly questioned Fernando Díaz ranks eighth with 26 units. In a match with no much brilliance and few chances of goal, the opening of the account came in the final minutes and was in favor of the ‘Celestes’. Previously, the few clear chances ran on behalf of the home team, which was more incisive. At 7 minutes he arrived the best occasion for the ‘reds’. Pablo Aránguiz advanced and from a long distance pulled out a powerful punch that the gobler Luis Ureta pulled with his fingertips. Shortly thereafter, at 14′, he again warned Aránguiz with a header in the area that ended up in Ureta’s hands. When the match was gone and from a stopped ball came victory for the men of the ‘Ghost’. Albert Acevedo jumped in the 88th minute alone in the Unión area and, after a perfect shipment from ramón Fernández’s right, he hit a powerful header that left goalkeeper Diego Sanchez with no options. For the twentieth day of the tournament, O’Higgins will receive Huachipato on Sunday, September 1, while Unión Española will visit Audax Italiano on Saturday, August 31 in classic colonies.
