The Crusaders jumped into the redoubt of Rancagua to hand over their good moment in the national championship, a competition in which they are absolute leaders. However, they got a comeback from Manuel Fernández’s pupils, who secured their ticket to the group stage for the first time in their history.
The initial impetus for the commitment came from the students. On minute 15, Fernando Zampedri took advantage of a precise pass from Franco Di Santo in front of the goal defended by Joaquín Muñoz and with subtle definition opened the account. In addition, in the twenty-second edition, he set the first goal of the continental tournament.
The party wouldn’t last long, of course, because at 19′ the equalizer came: Matías Sepúlveda took a powerful left-foot shot from the entrance of the penalty area, leaving Matías Dituro standing, who only saw how the ball entered his goal through the back .
The shop at the foot of the mountain did not lower its arms and after half an hour the drop would arrive via the former Rosario Central. El Toro won in the air from a cross from Alexander Aravena after a rebound from the Audino goalkeeper. In this way, the man born in Chajarí scored his second double in CONMEBOL tournaments by the margin after scoring twice against Inter de Porto Alegre in 2020 for the Libertadores.
The bucket of cold water came in the complement: Gonzalo Sosa anticipated his marker and headed at the far post leaving the former Celta de Vigo’s ball barren to establish the partial draw. Two minutes later Michael Fuentes received from Gonzalo Ríos and with a placed shot turned the story where O’Higgins plays at home to advance to the next round.
Now the UC will have to turn the page quickly, as this Saturday it will host Unión Española in La Portada with the mission to continue at the top of the domestic league. Note that this is the second defeat for the schoolboys in their last five appearances in the first round of the competition, following a 1-3 defeat to Real Potosí in 2016.
