The Crusaders faced a heavy defeat at Municipal de La Cisterna just days after meeting Colo Colo in the Copa Chile regional final.
Catholic University suffered another loss. The striped squad dropped their second defeat under Nicolás Núñez. After a home loss to Audax Italiano last week, they were unsettled again in La Cisterna, slipping to tenth place with 27 points as they chase a spot in the international cups. The goals came from Joe Abrigo at 27 minutes, Dilan Zúñiga at 41, and Felipe Chamorro with a stoppage time header at 90 plus three.
The upcoming domestic challenge for the Palestine offshoots is a home game against Ñublense on Saturday the 26th. Before that, they will face Colo Colo to decide the winner of the Copa Chile in the North Central Zone.
