Colo Colo He had finally been climbing positions in the National Championship, winning consecutive games against UC and La Calera, and he had to do the same on his visit to Cobresal, a team that fights not to be relegated. The Albos had chances to achieve it, but due to lack of precision in attack and errors in defense, they ended up tying 2-2 in the height of El Salvador.
The poor individual and collective performance is worrying in the face of Colo Colo’s next challenge: against Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores. Fortunately, there are several days of work, since the international match takes place on Thursday, May 9 at 8:00 p.m. at the Monumental Stadium.
That match will be the twentieth match of Jorge Almiron as coach of Cacique, a significant number of games to analyze the coach in his four months in Macul from a numerical point of view.

Jorge Almirón’s numbers in Colo Colo
From his official debut against Huachipato in the Super Cup (there are still 12 minutes left to play) to the draw with Cobresal, Jorge Almirón has directed 19 games in Colo Colo. Nine wins, five draws and five losses in all types of competitionsthe most important victory being the historic one achieved against Godoy Cruz in Argentina.
Those results are reflected in a 56.1% performance, a low percentage for a coach of the largest team in Chile. Furthermore, in the balance there are two results that hurt the Alba fans: the loss at home against the U after 23 years, and the bitter draw against Alianza Lima at home in the Copa Libertadores.
Although in group A of this last international tournament Colo Colo is still alive, thanks to a very even group, in the National Championship it begins to say goodbye to the title, except for an epic comeback to which the entire white town clings, and a drop of the pointer that has not occurred so far.
In the absence of matches on date 11, the Cacique has five wins, two draws and four losses, which gives a 51.5% performance. They are currently in seventh place with 17 points and +4 in goal difference, with the risk of being ten points from the top if the U beats Iquique this afternoon. This is how the live standings go:
