After scoring against Unión Española in the semifinal of the National Championship, the young man celebrated like Leandro Fernández. In this match, the blues won 4-1 and advanced to the definition, where they will face Colo Colo.

The truth is that the link between ‘Lea’ and the promises of the U will continue to grow, since The striker renewed his contract until the end of 2026.
