Católica Empata con Cobreloa: Ambos Equipos Sumaron

A hard-fought draw in Calama

Cobreloa and Universidad Católica played out a 1-1 draw on Saturday at the Estadio Municipal de Calama in a match that saw both sides create chances but ultimately unable to find a winner. The result leaves Católica in 4th place with 26 points, while Cobreloa sits in 10th with 18 points.

The opening stages of the match were evenly contested, with both teams pressing high and attempting to control possession. Católica had the first real chance of the game when Fernando Zampedri found himself in space inside the box, but his shot was well saved by Cobreloa goalkeeper, Omar Carabalí.

Cobreloa responded well and began to carve out opportunities of their own. In the 25th minute, Luis Pavez came close with a curling effort from the edge of the box, but his shot went just wide of the far post.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 38th minute when Cobreloa took the lead. **A cross from the right flank found ** Cristian Palma unmarked in the box, who headed the ball past Cristopher Toselli in the Católica goal.

The visitors were quick to equalize, however. Just three minutes later, Alexander Aravena was brought down inside the box by Cobreloa defender, Diego Orellana, and Nicolás Castillo stepped up to convert the resulting penalty.

The second half saw both teams continue to press for a winning goal, but neither was able to break through. Both defenses stood firm, and neither goalkeeper was truly tested. The final whistle blew with the score at 1-1, leaving both sides feeling frustrated but ultimately content with a point on the road.

Key takeaways from the match:

• Both teams were well-organized and defended resolutely.
• Cobreloa showed their fighting spirit and were deservedly rewarded with a point.
• Universidad Católica failed to build on their recent good form, but remain in the top four of the table.

The draw will undoubtedly be a source of frustration for Católica fans, but they will take solace in the fact that their team remains in contention for a top-four finish. Cobreloa, on the other hand, will be pleased with a point against a strong Católica side.
