3 – 1
“Alan Medina gave Everton the perfect start, powering a header home from a corner assisted by Nicolas Montiel to make it 1-0 inside three minutes.”
Pivotal“Concepción hit back with a swift equaliser through Luis Rojas, who struck with his right foot to level proceedings at 1-1 and give the visitors genuine hope.”
Pivotal“Nicolas Montiel headed home a goal assisted by Emiliano Maximo Ramos Aviles to restore Everton's lead at 2-1, ending Concepción's brief spell of hope and swinging momentum decisively back towards the home side.”
Pivotal“Nicolas Baeza added a third for Everton just nine minutes after the second goal, capitalising on sustained pressure that had included a blocked Medina shot and a blocked Montiel effort from the corner, to put the result beyond doubt.”

Outstanding performance
Everton•AttackerEverton were ruthless in the opening half hour, taking control of a Primera Division clash against Universidad de Concepción with three goals before the 33rd minute. Alan Medina got them off to a dream start with a headed corner goal in just the third minute, but Concepción hit back almost immediately through Luis Rojas to make it 1-1 at the 10th minute, briefly threatening an upset. Everton refused to be rattled, with Nicolas Montiel restoring the lead at 23 minutes before Nicolas Baeza added a third just nine minutes later to effectively kill the contest. The statistics underlined Everton's superiority — 59% possession, 21 shots to Concepción's nine, and three big chances created to their opponents' one — yet Concepción's 43 dangerous attacks showed they were not entirely toothless. The second half turned into a largely procedural affair punctuated by a flurry of yellow cards and substitutions, with a late Cristopher Mesías goal proving little more than a consolation. For Everton, the result keeps them in touch with the title race; for Concepción, the manner of the defeat — conceding three goals in under 30 minutes — raises serious defensive questions.
