📝 La U knocked out of Copa Chile
Curicó Unido surprised Gustavo Álvarez's team at the National Stadium and advanced to the next round with an aggregate score of 4-3. Universidad de Chile was eliminated early in the Copa Chile by drawing 2-2 against Curicó Unido, resulting in an aggregate score of 4-3 after a narrow victory in the first leg by the team currently playing in Primera B. Advertisement The 'U' took the lead near the end of the first half with a corner kick: Charles Aránguiz sent the cross, and Matías Zaldivia appeared with a precise header to establish a 1-0 advantage for his team. However, at the start of the second half, the newly entered Ian Aliaga equalized the score with a powerful right-footed shot to the corner, sparking the visitors' celebration at the National Stadium. Then, the 'Azules' became impatient and couldn't find their way in the attack. Curicó Unido took advantage of this desperation, and Nicolás Fernández scored the second by blasting a low shot past Castellón to the right post. Advertisement In the final minutes, after a shot to the post by Guerrero, the equalizer came for the Romántico Viajero. After a rebound in the area, Lucas Assadi made it 2-2 with a shot to the center, but it was not enough to secure a spot in the next round of the Copa Chile.

📝 Shock defeat for 'U' in the Copa Chile
The 'Romantic Traveler' was defeated 2-1 by Curicó Unido in the first leg of the round of 16 of the domestic competition. It was not a good performance by Universidad de Chile against Curicó Unido at the Estadio Huachipato CAP-Acero, where they lost the first leg of the round of 16 by 2-1 in a match where it became evident that the absences hit Gustavo Álvarez's team. Advertisement The 'Blues', with eleven absences due to call-ups for the senior national team and the U-20, as well as the injury of Charles Aránguiz, took control of the match at the start, but Diego Rojas assisted Nicolás Fernández to establish the 1-0 in favor of the 'Torteros' after half an hour of play. The home team did not take their foot off the gas and Cristián Bustamante appeared completely free in the area to extend the lead and spark celebrations on Héctor Almandoz's bench before the end of the first half. Indeed, near halftime, the 'U' reacted with a penalty converted by Leandro Fernández. There was also a penalty for the Curicó team, but Bustamante's shot went wide. Advertisement Gustavo Álvarez made several changes at halftime, and his team improved with the entry of Rodrigo Contreras, although they almost suffered more goals from their rival's counterattacks in the second half. Universidad de Chile couldn't avoid the defeat and is now obliged to win by at least two goals in the rematch to be played this Wednesday, June 11, at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos.

First move? Cristián Zavala set to leave Colo Colo for a spell in Argentina
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Cristián Zavala would have everything in place to leave Colo Colo on loan and play in Argentine football. The 25-year-old winger is now linked to Newell's Old Boys. The team from Rosario would have already initiated the procedures to carry out the transfer, which would include a purchase option after the end of the loan period. #MercadoDePases | 🚨 Acuerdo total para que Cristian Zavala sea REFUERZO de #Newells. Ya se cruzan contratos con Colo Colo 🇨🇱 para que el extremo chileno de 25 años se sume a la Lepra a préstamo con cargo y opción de compra ✍️🏼. — Mercado de Pases (@MDePasesArg) May 26, 2025 The information was spread through Twitter, through the Argentine journalist Uriel Lugt. No details of the operation were disclosed, nor were there any confirmations or official voices regarding the matter. If the loan is finalized, Zavala would have his first experience outside of Chilean football. The attacker has suffered ups and downs during his stay at Colo Colo. Emerging from Coquimbo Unido, he had stints at Fernández Vial and Melipilla, before landing at the Cacique, where he struggled to make a place for himself. In 2023, he played the entire season on loan at Curicó Unido and gained momentum, and then had his best season at Colo Colo in 2024. However, more recently and under the command of Jorge Almirón, Zavala lost ground again and was relegated, so a new loan is a plausible option. 📸 RODRIGO ARANGUA - AFP or licensors
