Gustavo Quinteros keeps finding a way to add points, and against the group’s top favorite he hopes to celebrate at home with a hard-fought win.
Colo Colo has shown strength in many parts of the game, but their defense has stood tall. The team lost to Cobresal and then managed only two goals across the next seven official matches, a stretch that included results that kept them out of defeat and helped them set their stance in the league and in the Copa Libertadores. They arrive in Macul aiming to extend a no-loss run, while building up the attacking line so they can push beyond expectations and make a lasting statement.
Capacity limits are in place
In Group F, Colo Colo and Boca Juniors share the lead with four points each. The winner in Santiago will break away from their regional rivals, with Pereira and Monagas each collecting a single point in two matches.
An important challenge – a home match designed to forge resilience.

The goalkeeper who has been protecting the net will return, Ferdinand de Paul, who earned praise after defeating Brayan Cortés. The former Universidad de Chile standout has been in exceptional form in recent weeks, helping his club avert a loss at La Calera and suggesting that there is no intention to replace him. The coaching staff emphasizes that both goalkeepers can fill the role. Quinteros also noted that the absence of Iquiqueño Marcos Bolados will be due to injury, with Fabian Castilla, Dario Lezcano, and Matias de los Santos also out.
