Universidad Católica raced into a two-goal lead inside 22 minutes through Fernando Zampedri and Diego Corral, exploiting quick transitions despite Palestino's dominance in possession and passing. Palestino, who controlled 58% of the ball and completed far more passes, hit back through Enzo Roco and Joe Abrigo to level at 2-2 by the 57th minute, showing real character despite conceding 22 fouls in a physical second half. Zampedri proved the difference-maker, netting a VAR-awarded penalty in the 73rd minute after a scramble from back-to-back corners, sealing a 3-2 win for the visitors. For Palestino, sitting deep in the table, this defeat compounds their struggles, while Universidad Católica's resilience under pressure keeps them firmly in the title conversation.
