Colo Colo vs Concepción

Colo Colo and Deportes Concepción shared the points in a 1-1 draw at Estadio Monumental, in front of over 41,000 fans who turned out partly to honor club legend Mirko Jozic. The visitors struck first and held their nerve for most of the night, denying the league leaders a much-needed win. Norman Rodríguez opened the scoring in the 12th minute, heading home a corner delivered by Jorge Henríquez to beat goalkeeper Vozinha for the first time since his arrival at the club. Concepción defended stubbornly from there, with keeper Araya producing a big save to deny Ethan Espinoza. Colo Colo finally found an equalizer in the 77th minute when a low cross from Francisco Marchant was turned into his own net by Fernando Martínez. There were no red cards, though Cristian Riquelme picked up a yellow. The result stings more for Colo Colo, whose commanding lead at the top has now been trimmed to 12 points after back-to-back draws, leaving them needing ten more points to seal the title. For Deportes Concepción, the point keeps them in the hunt for an international qualification spot, now just two points away.
