1 – 2
“Nicolas Johansen breaks the deadlock for Coquimbo Unido, converting a Francisco Salinas assist to make it 1-0. The goal came after a spell of Coquimbo pressure including missed efforts from Cuevas and Pablo Rodriguez in the preceding minutes.”
Pivotal“Católica coach Daniel Oscar Garnero is shown a yellow card for arguing with officials, reflecting the rising tensions on the touchline as his side pushed to get back into the match.”
“Fernando Zampedri levels for Universidad Católica, finishing an assist from substitute Diego Corral to make it 1-1. Católica's tactical changes at the hour mark had immediately begun to shift the rhythm of the game.”
Pivotal“Martín Alejandro Gómez, on the pitch for just six minutes after replacing Clemente Montes, scores the winner to put Católica 2-1 ahead. Zampedri turns provider after his earlier equaliser, and Gómez finishes to seal a stunning away comeback.”

Outstanding performance
Universidad Católica•AttackerCoquimbo Unido had the better of the statistical contest for much of this match — more shots, more dangerous attacks, and territorial dominance — yet it was Universidad Católica who left with all three points thanks to ruthless second-half finishing. Nicolas Johansen's 40th-minute opener, assisted by Francisco Salinas, gave the hosts a deserved lead that they carried into the break, but Católica's tactical substitutions reshaped the game entirely. Diego Corral, brought on at the hour mark, set up Fernando Zampedri's equaliser in the 69th minute, and just ten minutes later, fellow substitute Martín Alejandro Gómez buried the winner from a Zampedri assist to complete the turnaround. Coquimbo will feel aggrieved — they registered ten shots to Católica's five and created genuine pressure throughout — but clinical finishing from Católica's experienced attacking options proved the difference, and the result hands Católica a valuable away win that strengthens their standing in the Primera Division title conversation.
