The Crusaders charged into the La Florida Bicentennial redoubt with a simple aim: seize back the lead and seal a decisive victory that reasserts their position at the top.
In a clash hosted at the Bicentennial La Florida, Magellan and Catholic University will lock horns, a showdown that marks the ninth date of the 2023 National Championship. Ariel Holan’s squad is determined to stay on the winning track, steady at the summit, and avoid a stumble when the Modern Classic pits them against Colo Colo later in the week.
Coming off a dramatic away point, the pre-Andean store arrives this match after fashioning a 2-2 comeback with Unión Española at La Portada. The visitors found themselves 0–2 down but rallied in the second half, led by a pair of goals from their striker Fernando Zampedri, preserving an unbeaten run that now stretches to five games. That resilience keeps them perched in the upper half of the table, still chasing the top spot as they prepare to nullify a stubborn Academy and push toward a third win of the season that would widen the gap above the relegation zone.
