🚨 Line-up confirmed for Universidad de Chile against Guaraní
The Romantic Traveler seeks to seal its qualification to the round of 16 of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2025 in Asunción. Universidad de Chile visits Guaraní at the La Nueva Olla Stadium in Asunción with a 5-0 advantage obtained in the first leg of the playoffs towards the round of 16 of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2025, where Independiente de Avellaneda awaits. The 'U' arrives at this commitment with an interesting advantage and a present that excites its fans, as it has won in four of its last five matches in all competitions. The starting eleven of Universidad de Chile Gustavo Álvarez has opted for a formation with three changes: Poblete, Sepúlveda and Contreras give their places to Marcelo Díaz, Salomoni and Di Yorio. Guaraní, on the other hand, has the difficult task of overcoming five goals and its most recent performances do not give guarantees: it only won one of its last six matches (a draw and four losses). Guaraní's starting lineup Víctor Bernay faces this challenge with his best players available. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

‘Cryptic' 7-foot-long sea creature found on beach in Florida. It's a new species
In the crystal waters of the Atlantic Ocean swam a 'large' sea creature with a distinctive black-and-white coloring and 'whip-like tail.' Everything about it caught the attention of nearby scuba divers — and for good reason. It turned out to be a 'cryptic' new species. A team of researchers decided to take a closer look at the manta rays and devil rays of the Atlantic Ocean, a 'highly vulnerable' group of filter-feeders with a 'somewhat unresolved' classification, according to a study published July 23 in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Biology of Fishes. For more than 15 years, various scientists had documented the existence of an 'undescribed species of manta ray in the Atlantic Ocean,' but no one had formally identified it due to a lack of available specimens, the study said. Determined to change this, researchers compiled a database of manta ray sightings and tracked down museum specimens from the United States, Mexico and Brazil, the study said. Next, they analyzed the physical features and DNA of these 'cryptic' manta rays. Sure enough, researchers realized they'd discovered a new species: Mobula yarae, or the Atlantic manta ray. Atlantic manta rays are considered 'large-sized,' the study said. The rays measured by researchers were about 7 feet long and 8 feet wide, but the new species has an estimated maximum size of 16 to 20 feet wide. The new species has a diamond-shaped body, 'flat' head and 'whip-like tail,' researchers said. Its skin is covered with star-shaped ridges. Its total number of teeth increases over time but can reach more than 2,500 teeth. Photos show the 'wide range of color variation' in Atlantic manta rays. Generally, the rays have a 'predominantly black' back with 'symmetrical white' markings, the study said. Their undersides are paler with some black markings. Researchers said they named the new species Yara after a figure of 'Brazilian legend' and indigenous 'ancient Tupi and Guaraní mythology' whose name means 'mother of water.' The new species' common name refers to the Atlantic Ocean, the only region where it lives, the study said. These rays have been found in Florida, along the eastern and southern coasts of the U.S., off Mexico, in the Caribbean and off the coast of Brazil. Like other ray species, Atlantic manta rays are likely at risk of extinction and known to face 'major threats' such as 'pollution, boat strikes, coastal fisheries, and habitat degradation,' researchers said. The new species was identified by its DNA, mouth shape, body shape and proportions, coloring, skin texture and other subtle physical features, the study said. The research team included Nayara Bucair, Silvia Hinojosa-Alvarez, Andrea Denise Marshall, Jessica Pate, Carlo Leopoldo Bezerra Francini, Amana Guedes Garrido, Katia Cristina Cruz Capel, Thiago Silva Loboda, Jhonatas Sirino Monteiro, Carlos Eduardo Malavasi Bruno, Claudia Francesca Vaga, Alistair Dove, Lisa Hoopes, Cameron Perry and Marcelo Kitahara.

Focusing on U. Española and the Superclásico: good news for U de Chile
After the good triumph, with a comeback, against Deportes Iquique in the last match of the first round, Universidad de Chile will have a short week-long break. After that, they will return to work to catch up with the calendar and play the two pending matches, against Unión Española (for the fourth match) and the Superclásico against Colo Colo (suspended on matchday 7). Advertisement Looking ahead to the return to competition, there is good news for the team led by Gustavo Álvarez. La U recovers its main figures Against Iquique, La U did not have several of its usual starters, such as Leandro Fernández, Fabián Hormazábal, Charles Aránguiz, and Franco Calderón. All of them will be back and available for the coach for the match against Unión Española, which will be on Saturday, July 5, at Santa Laura. Journalist Marcelo Díaz from TNT Sports pointed out the importance of some of these players in the functioning of the blue team: "Hormazábal is the one with the most centers, Fernández has the most assists and shots on goal, the one with the most interventions and passes is Aránguiz. So La U loses a lot without these three players," he said. Advertisement "And with the absence of Franco Calderón, who provides defensive solidity at the back, there were four important losses, plus Maximiliano Guerrero who was suspended, although he has not been a starter in this season," he added. On the other hand, Rodrigo Contreras' absence for the next match has already been confirmed, as he was sent off against Iquique. After the match against the Spanish team, U de Chile will play the Superclásico against Colo Colo on July 12 at the Estadio Nacional, and then return to international activity to face Guaraní from Paraguay, seeking a place in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana 2025.
