Outstanding performance
Univ. Concepción•GoalkeeperPalestino dominated territorially with 63% possession and doubled Univ. Concepción's shot count, but they had to work until the 90th minute to see off a stubborn visiting side. Univ. Concepción struck first against the run of play through Cecilio Waterman, capitalizing on a corner scramble, before a deflected effort turned into an unfortunate own goal by Antonio Diaz to level things at 65'. Gonzalo Tapia was at the heart of the late drama, missing a penalty in the 71st minute before redeeming himself with the winning goal in the dying seconds, capping a match that saw two penalties saved and eight yellow cards handed out. The win keeps Palestino firmly in the hunt near the top of the table, while Univ. Concepción will rue missed chances and a fragile away performance that undoes their earlier resilience.
