Cobreloa falls into a curse after beating Colo Colo: Astorga trembles

Copperloa defeated Colo Colo very clearly in the Monumental stadium and that left Emiliano Astorga full of satisfaction. But as the dates went by in the 2024 National Championship, that victory for the orange team was forgotten.

The three days following the 2-0 draw against Cacique were the prelude to a string of defeats that have the coach’s continuity hanging by a thread. On the 9th day of the competition, the Desert Foxes received a blow in Calama: they fell 3-0 against the Audax Italian.

And in the 10th game of the tournament, the orange team suffered a historic beating: fell 6-0 against Ñublense at the Nelson Oyarzún Arenas stadium located in Chillán. But the worst came on the 11th round of the highest category of Chilean soccer.

This time, defeat came at the hands of Everton from Viña del Mar: the Ruleteros overcame two men less after the red cards to the Argentine Rodrigo Contreras and the Uruguayan Federico Martinez. And they returned to the Garden City with three points in their luggage thanks to the 2-1 in Calama.

Cobreloa falls into a well after beating Colo Colo and the continuity of Astorga is in danger

That is to say, the panorama is eloquent for Cobreloa: after the victory against Colo Colo, the team led by Emiliano Astorga not only had three defeats. It also left a very worrying record that shatters several hopes for a takeoff.

There were 11 goals against the Argentine Nicolas Avellaneda, who was the great figure in the victory against the albos. And only one conquest scored by the orange team: it was Gary Insaurralde in the fall against Oro y Cielo, although that did not help to avoid a new fall.

This Monday, May 6, a meeting between the San Antonio coach and the Cobreloa leadership has been agreed. And on the next date of the 2024 National Championship, the Loínos have a transcendental challenge against one of the clubs that flirts dangerously with the relegation zone.

Sports Copiapó will host the Desert Foxes on the 12th round of the top category. That match will be played at the Luis Valenzuela Hermosilla stadium on May 12 starting at 12:30 p.m., according to continental Chile time. It will be necessary to see if it is with the technical direction of Astorga.
