The side led by Ariel Holan aims to tighten their grip at the summit of the National Championship with another victory, signaling strength and consistency across the league phase.
Their upcoming visit to Catholic University this Friday features a key clash on the seventh round of National Championship 2023, a fixture that has already caught the attention of fans seeking late-season momentum. The squad under Holan approaches this match refreshed after a dramatic run of form, with a recent win that reinforced their title aspirations and delivered a statement against their rivals. As the season progresses, the team is focused on maintaining the pressure at the top while preparing for important continental duties that follow the league showdown.
Having recovered from a recent setback, the squad surged forward with a 5-2 victory over Palestine, moving into an elevated position in the standings and strengthening their position atop the table. The performance served as a clear signal of intent, showing resilience and a well-drilled system that has become a hallmark of their campaign. This triumph helped propel the Crusaders into a commanding lead of 13 points, setting the stage for a sustained push to extend their winning streak and stay ahead in the domestic championship. Looking ahead, the team will pivot to the Copa Sudamericana, where they will face Audax Italiano in the group-stage phase, seeking to translate league confidence into continental results.

On the other side, Jaime García’s outfit arrives from a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Unión La Calera at the Nicolás Chahuán stadium. That result marked a third consecutive game without a win for the visitors, comprising two draws and a single defeat, a sequence that has left them with a sense of urgency to reclaim momentum. The team understands that a positive result in the upcoming league fixture is essential if they want to halt a slide and prevent opponents from widening the gap. A strong performance away from home would be the right tonic to regain confidence and restore balance to their campaign. [La Voz del Deporte] (La Voz del Deporte)
