“Luis Pastur picked up a yellow card for a foul, a booking that would haunt him for the rest of the match as he later scored an own goal.”
“Already on a yellow card, Cobresal's Luis Pastur turned the ball into his own net to give Universidad Católica the lead — an agonising moment that broke the deadlock against the run of his own efforts.”
Pivotal“Chirstian Moreno was booked for arguing with the referee, summing up Cobresal's frustration after conceding in controversial circumstances.”
“Veteran Gary Medel was introduced late on, a symbolic move from Católica as they managed the game to its conclusion.”
“Fernando Zampedri finished coolly in the dying seconds to make it 2-0 and put the result beyond any doubt, rewarding Católica's dominant display.”

Universidad Católica
Cobresal
Universidad Católica were the better side from first whistle to last, commanding 58% possession and generating 16 shots to Cobresal's eight in a performance that reflected their superior league standing. The breakthrough came in an unusual fashion on the hour mark when Cobresal defender Luis Pastur — already on a yellow card — turned the ball into his own net, handing the hosts the lead their dominance had long deserved. Cobresal, sitting in the relegation zone and in desperate need of points, never truly threatened to respond, with their goalkeeper forced into five saves to keep the scoreline respectable before Zampedri's 90th-minute goal confirmed the damage. For Católica, this was a composed and professional home victory built on territorial control — 59 dangerous attacks to Cobresal's 33 — while Cobresal's afternoon was encapsulated by their own misfortune and a lack of cutting edge, failing to create a single big chance across ninety minutes.
