Until finally a classic was played in Chilean football (starting the month of May). On the renewed court of the National Stadium, premiering its hybrid grass, university of Chile and Catholic University starred in the University classic number 200 of the history, A milestone for one of the most traditional rivalries in the country. As usually said in the previous one, these types of matches go beyond today. In a even match, without marked advantagesthe U took an incredible victory. In the final minute, after a rival error, he kept the match.
The duel came with both casts up, both in football and in the mood, which fed expectations (a couple of weeks ago, the panorama would have been very different, particularly in the crusaders). While the Blues arrived with a streak of six games without defeats, the franjeados deployed their best performance of the year before Everton. For this reason, before a greater weight rival was a test for those of Tiago Nunes.
There were no mysteries since tactical proposals. The U launched the stellar eleven, That 3-5-2 that applies pressure from the beginning and with sides-sides with the mission of doing the entire band to be offensive agents. While the UC repeated the team that thrashed the ruleteros, with Clemente Montes and Cristián Cuevas well open by the bands, in a 4-1-4-1 with Jhojan Valencia on the and Jader Gentil axis as a mixedbeing in charge of breaking and accompanying Fernando Zampedri.
It was a first half where the defenses imposed themselves before the front. If the U Achicaba Alto, the Catholic was concentrated in her field and then left with rapid transitions. when he jumped lines, the visit found spaces to attack, as in the 3 ′, when Montes raised a header. In a duel that traveled for several states, the blue lacked effective half -up response.
For Álvarez’s proposal, the work of the external is vital. In that sense, Sepúlveda was more sharp than last. For this reason, the Tucu trajín complicated Ampuero through that band, unlike the other side, where the Mena-Cuevas tandem did not leave large spaces. In the 34 ′, Hormazábal had a chance, anticipating Mena, but diverted. Of the few combinations to close the clamp on the opposite side.
As mentioned above, the centrals stood out in the first half. Both Di Yorio and Zampedri were unfit. In a classic with intensity and fray, the debt was clearly in the generation of goal occasions. Everything was very isolated. The initial 45 ′ closed with only a goal to goal: a weak shot of Zaldivia, controlled by Bernedo.
The U ended better than the UC in the first half. That feeling of slight superiority stretched for complement. The Crusaders, already without Gary Medel on the court (The Pitbull, correct game, was replaced by a feverish picture)They quickly lost the ball and repeatedly bet on the ball towards their centering. In the 55 ′, Nico Guerra failed for the frame, raising a shot. The striker would be replaced by Leandro Fernández.
An unsuspected outcome
It was a tight duel, in which the spaces were not left over. It was like a chess board, where any fault could cost defeat (so it was). The clock advanced and the draw stagnated. The U had greater possession, however it did not generate great chances to its rival. While physical effort was already noticeable in UC, due to deployment (ampuero and caves, for example). Zampedri, who played a lot from his back to endure, had the option of reaching Raimundo Infante as a maximum gunner cross in the classic. It did not happen.
The tie was ready. There was nothing left. But the U found the light thanks to the UC. In the seventh added minute (yes, 90+7), a rude defensive failure of asta-buruaga in a rejection ends with Rodrigo Contreras meeting the ball. The former Everton took a furious shot and gave his triumph. Blue catharsis, cross disbelief.
After 200 clashes, the history says that the U now has 76 wins, against 63 draws and 61 Catholic victories. The Tucu Contreras scored the 289 goal of the Chuncho squad against his archirival. Álvarez’s team comes out everything. While those of Nunes land suddenly.
