The Chilean football champion faces the holder of the Copa Chile in a season-opening duel that has defined the league since 2013.
Colo Colo and Magallanes will kickoff the 2023 campaign with the Super Cup clash this Sunday, January 15, at Sausalito Stadium. The team steered by Gustavo Quinteros earned the right to crown the league champion, a title contested since 2013, while Magallanes arrived by claiming the Chilean Cup crown to earn this opportunity.
It is worth noting that the Cacique defends their crown after winning last year’s edition with a 2-0 victory over Universidad Católica, thanks to strikes from Leonardo Gil and Carlo Villanueva in the final played at Ester Roa Rebolledo Stadium. Historically, the duel tilts in favor of Colo Colo, who have four titles in the series after wins in 2016, 2019, 2020, and 2021. A win would bring Colo Colo level with the franchise leaders by adding titles from 2017, 2018, and 2022. Magallanes, meanwhile, is playing their first major clash of this magnitude in many years.
Records show the teams have met 149 times, with Colo Colo holding a clear edge, 76 wins to 34 for Magallanes, and 39 draws. In terms of goals, Colo Colo has tallied 347 to Magallanes’ 234. The most recent encounter before this match dates back to May 1985, in the Nacional, a 3-1 victory for Colo Colo in a contest that featured Group 4 of the Copa Libertadores alongside Peñarol and Bella Vista.
The match between Colo Colo and Magallanes will be televised on TNT Sports HD and TNT 2, with streaming available via TNT Sports Stadium. Mobile viewing is also supported through TNT GO. For TNT HD or TNT2 subscribers, both signals appear on Movistar Play, Entel TV, DirecTV GO, Claro Video, VTR Play, and Zapping.
Note: The format and scheduling are designed to spotlight the champions of the First Division against the cup winners, offering teams a chance to set the tone for the season and build momentum early in 2023.
