“Bastián Yáñez punished Colo-Colo right on the stroke of half-time, finishing with his left foot to give O'Higgins a shock 0-1 lead just as the hosts looked set to head into the break level.”
Pivotal“Javier Correa justified his introduction off the bench by converting with his left foot from a Jeyson Rojas assist to make it 2-1, giving Colo-Colo the lead against the ten-man visitors.”
Pivotal“Arnaldo Castillo headed home from a corner in the dying seconds to snatch a 2-2 equaliser for O'Higgins, stunning Estadio Monumental and denying Colo-Colo a crucial three points in the title race.”

Colo-Colo
O'Higgins
Colo-Colo dominated the territorial and statistical picture for most of this fixture — 56 percent possession, 72 dangerous attacks to O'Higgins' 40, and nine corners to four — yet they found themselves behind at half-time after Bastián Yáñez caught them cold in the first minute of added time. Leandro Hernández levelled almost immediately after the restart, and the match continued to lurch between both teams before Rodrigo Bovaglio's red card in the 65th minute changed the complexion of the contest. Substitute Javier Correa then capitalised on O'Higgins' numerical disadvantage, finishing calmly in the 77th minute to put the hosts ahead, only for Arnaldo Castillo to conjure an equaliser from a 90th-minute corner and rob Colo-Colo of what would have been a vital three points in the title race. For Colo-Colo, it is a frustrating draw given their dominance and the man advantage; for O'Higgins, a point rescued from the jaws of defeat is a significant lift given the circumstances.

Kick-off! Referee：Fernando Andre Vejar Diaz
League leaders Colo-Colo welcome mid-table O'Higgins to the Estadio Monumental in what looks a heavily one-sided affair on paper. With 45 points and dominant form, the Caciques are odds-on to extend their lead at the top, while O'Higgins arrive on a poor run and will need something special to cause an upset.
