The UC and Colo Colo did not take advantage in San Carlos de Apoquindo17 July 2021 18:55University Católica and Colo Colo did not take advantage this Saturday to equalize without goals in the most attractive match of the eleventh date of the National Championship 2021, played at the San Carlos de Apoquindo Stadium.Con la parity in the redoubt of the commune of Las Condes , the team coached by Gustavo Poyet was placed in the third place of the table with 19 points, one behind the pointer Union La Calera, while the ‘Cacique’ was in the fourth position with 17 units. In the first period, the albos showed greater depth with suffocating pressure at the cross exit. Two good interventions by Sebastián Pérez prevented the opening of the account of those led by Gustavo Quinteros.La first deep finish arrived in the 4 minutes and it was for the outsider. After a long ball, the local lag failed in coverage and Gabriel Costa took a shot in a comfortable position that found the good bilge of the goal of the cast of the strip. The UC had the clearest of the first stage and the meeting at 10′. Corner kick from the left, goalkeeper Brayan Cortes could not get it out and Valber Huerta unsheathed a shot that took it out the back of the goal near the goal line. After that action, the ‘popular’ cast took the reins of the fight nullifying the rival exit and winning practically all the second balls. In the 22 minutes, Costa came close with a free kick that took out the ‘Carrot’ Perez.Colo Colo besieged the goal of Católica and at 29′ again warned. Ball leaked for an Ivan Morales who entered the area alone and the cross goalkeeper was ready to antick. In the complement the intensity of the encounter decreased, with few arrivals of danger to the arches. The clearest came in the 61st minute with a right-winger from outside the area by Cesar Fuentes that went narrowly over the crossbar. The large number of changes made to the complement did not change the image of the match and both teams shared points in the foothills. For the 12th day of the tournament, the three-time national football champion will host O’Higgins on Sunday, July 25, while Colo Colo will host Audax Italiano on Saturday, July 24…..
