Universidad Chile
Ñublense
Outstanding performance
Universidad Chile•MidfielderUniversidad Chile were relentless from the opening whistle, racking up 18 shots and 71% possession as Ñublense never found a foothold. Guerrero's quickfire double inside the first 37 minutes, both born from corner situations, set the platform, and Pablo Ezeqiel Calderón's last-man red card right before half-time turned a difficult night into an impossible one for the visitors. The floodgates opened after the break as Agustín Arce, Gonzalo Reyna, Eduardo Vargas and substitute Fabián Hormazábal all got on the scoresheet against an exhausted, outnumbered Ñublense side that managed just 29% possession and three offsides in a toothless display. For Universidad Chile this result keeps the title charge firmly alive, while Ñublense will need to regroup quickly after a performance that exposed deep issues in both discipline and quality under pressure.
