Colo-Colo was crowned this Sunday champion of the Chilean Super Cup by beating Universidad Católica 0-2 with goals from Leonardo Gil and Carlo Villanueva, in the first title played this year before the start of the 2022 National Championship.
After a first half marked by disorder in the stands, the opening of the scoreboard came in the 62nd minute after an error in the exit of the crossed goalkeeper Sebastián ‘Carrot’ Pérez, a mistake taken advantage of without problems by Leonardo Gil, who only had to push the ball into the net to put the white box ahead.
Already in stoppage time, the young 22-year-old midfielder Carlo Villanueva connected with great technique a cross from Gabriel, nailing the ball into the top corner, leaving Pérez without an option and sealing the final result of the match.
Result consistent with what was shown by both casts throughout the more than 90 minutes of football, with Gustavo Quinteros’s pupils as clear dominators of the field in most of the match.
After the initial whistle, the two teams came out with everything to put pressure on the rival, but Católica did not have the necessary depth to do any damage and ended up giving up the pace on the pitch.
Half an hour into the game, the players had to leave the field.
Unfortunately, the center was not in sports during the first 45 minutes, but in the acts of violence recorded in the stands of the Ester Roa Stadium in Concepción. After the first half hour of the game, all the players were forced to leave the field due to serious disorders and confrontations carried out by the supporters who attended the meeting.
During 15 minutes the events were not quelled by the police action and elements of the stadium were destroyed, in addition to registering aggressions between the fans involved.
“What a silly thing that is happening in the stadium (aggressions in the stands). They call themselves fans (it doesn’t matter what team they are) and with their behavior they deprive everyone of the spectacle of football. They don’t care that there are children or families We cannot naturalize this. It’s not right,” the country’s president-elect, Gabriel Boric, posted on his social media.
The commitment resumed after 34 minutes and the footballing tone was the same as in its first moments: the Crusaders found it difficult to impose their style of play and did not record shots on goal, while the Whites dominated in possession and arrived twice with clarity to the goal of Sebastián “Carrot” Pérez before the break.
