Diego Coelho helped Cobresal come back from 2-2 against Colo Colo this Saturday at the El Cobre Stadium.
Coelho tied Cobresal with his second goal of the game in the 72nd minute, when he headed the ball into the net. The forward shot high into the left corner after combining with Franco Lobos.
Damián Pizarro and Arturo Vidal scored for the visitors.
Pizarro opened the scoring for Colo Colo two minutes into the game. The forward shot low into the left corner after combining with Cristián Zavala. However, the lead did not last as Coelho, with a header, equalized nine minutes before the break with the first of his two goals. Leonardo Valencia provided the assist.
Thirteen minutes later, Vidal converted a penalty committed by Óscar Opazo after a foul by Francisco Alarcón, which allowed Colo Colo to take the lead again. However, local hopes faded with Coelho’s equalizer in the 72nd minute.
