translated from Spanish: Spanish Union missed the opportunity to put pressure on leaders with an opaque tie against Antofagasta

Unión Española lost this Sunday a good option to reach the leader Universidad Católica in scoring by simply tying in home status to a goal against Deportes Antofagasta, in match played at the Estadio Santa Laura and valid for the 26th date of the National Championship.A parity that continues to stop the ‘Hispanics’ in the fight for the title. They were left in third place with 45 units, two of the Crusaders but with three more games. Meanwhile, the ‘Pumas’ added their third straight duel without falling, with two draws and a win, and kept fourth place in the standings with 40 points, five from the Copa Libertadores area.When Union played best, the outsider opened the account in the capital in the 34th minute. After a long exit from goalkeeper Ignacio González and some inconveniences in the local lag, Jason Flores received a precise attendance and defined before the departure of Diego Sánchez.In a second lapse without major emotions and with few ideas from mid-court forward, Carlos Palacios broke the lethargy with a goal. The young striker made a double wall in the center, first with Ronald González and then with Mauro Caballero, and ended up defining with quality before the chico of the ‘Nacho’ González.For the 27th day of the domestic tournament, the squad led by Ronald Fuentes will visit Audax Italiano on Monday, January 4, while the Northtinos will receive colista Colo Colo on Sunday 3.
