Atlético Mineiro met Deportes Iquique again this Thursday (8).
And disappointed its fans.
They took the lead, but saw the team that is 16th and last in the Chilean Championship win 3 x 2.
The match was played at the Tierra de Campeones Stadium and was valid for the fourth round of Group H of the Copa Sudamericana.
The result put the Chilean team in contention for qualification.
Check out the highlights of the match soon.Took the lead, but...
Even without Hulk, Lyanco and Arana, the start was positive for Atlético. They controlled the game and posed a threat - mainly with Rony.
And they scored the deserved goal just ten minutes in thanks to a play started and finished by Rubens.
But Atlético did not take advantage of their superior technical quality to dominate.
They had already made Everson work until Orellana's cross found Álvaro Ramos free in the box (35').
Aerial ball becomes a drama for Galo
Fernando Díaz would have more success in his personal dispute with Cuca.
He saw his Iquique turn the game around after another high ball play. From the very veteran Puch to Ramos to deflect (52').
Shortly after, a new cross from the left found Orellana, who beat Everson (61').
Highlighting Iquique's great efficiency: three accurate shots on Atlético's goal and three goals.
New changes made Atlético more productive with the ball.
Cuello and, later, Rony, were stopped by Requeña. But Bernard had better luck (79').
His second goal since returning to the club.
The pressure to equalize did not work.
And Galo paid dearly for the many marking errors.
📊 Standings and schedule 📅
Atlético stopped at five points. They could see Caracas (five) pull away if they beat Cienciano (three) later.

Attention América de Cali: Racing eyeing up Duván Vergara
América de Cali is in the midst of defining the League, while having on the horizon the challenge of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, against Bahía. But the squad led by Jorge Da Silva could suffer significant losses for the next semester. Duván Vergara in the sights of Racing According to Pipe Sierra, the interest of Racing in the América de Cali winger is real, after rumors grew. Advertisement The journalist also clarified that América de Cali is not willing to negotiate until the end of the season. Racing Club qualified for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, to be played in August, and intends to strengthen itself to compete in the continental tournament. It is also said that Racing and América maintain direct contact, without agents or intermediaries, due to the agreement made last year for Juan Fernando Quintero. For América, it would be a very significant loss, considering one of the most unbalancing players in the squad, as well as an experienced reference. In addition to Racing, it has also been reported that Duván Vergara would be on the radar of his rival in Avellaneda, Independiente de Vaccari, and he could also be sought after from Brazil. Advertisement The 28-year-old winger has been valued this season. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

📝 Arturo Vidal scores from the spot as Colo Colo see off La Calera
📝 Arturo Vidal scores from the spot as Colo Colo see off La Calera It was a discreet game that Colo Colo played at the Estadio Municipal Nicolás Chahuán Nazar, but it was enough to add a new victory in the Liga de Primera 2025. The team of Jorge Almirón, who was not on the sidelines due to a sanction, had to resist in the first minutes, when Unión La Calera seemed more determined to have the ball and attack. The first half hour of play was intense and disputed, but without great chances in the goals. Colo Colo defeated La Calera by the minimum Without being able to practically shoot at the rival goal throughout the first half, near the end of that first half Lucas Cepeda fell in the rival area, and after verifying the foul in the VAR, the referee awarded the penalty to Cacique. Advertisement Their captain, Arturo Vidal, took care of the execution and gave the advantage to Colo Colo, which would be definitive. With this victory, Colo Colo reached 17 points in 10 games played, to climb to ninth place in the table, and remain 9 points away from the leaders, Coquimbo Unido and Audax Italiano. The Whites still have three pending games (against Iquique, corresponding to the 8th date, and the classics against U de Chile and Universidad Católica), so virtually, in case of winning them, they would be reaching the top of the table. The duel against the Cementeros also left a bad news for Colo Colo and for Jorge Almirón: the concern about the possible injury of Sebastián Vegas. Advertisement The central defender suffered a hard blow in the first half, and although he wanted to continue in the game, he could not. He was replaced by Jonathan Villagra at 20 minutes of play.

🚨 Line-ups confirmed: U de Chile v O'Higgins at the Nacional
Universidad de Chile welcomes O'Higgins at the National Stadium for matchday 13 of the 2025 First League, where the blue team is going all out to compete in the top zone of the table. The team led by Gustavo Álvarez comes into this duel intending to turn the page, after the painful elimination from the Copa Libertadores, despite a good group stage that left them, with 10 points, qualified for the Copa Sudamericana playoffs. Advertisement On the other hand, the "Capo de Provincia" comes from defeating Ñublense 1-0 at the Nelson Oyarzún Stadium in Chillán, this for matchday 12 of the National Tournament, and now is one point above the U in the table, although they have already played two more matches (the Blues have pending the clash against Unión Española from matchday 4 and the Superclásico from the seventh). The starting XI of U de Chile against O'Higgins It should be noted the absence of Rodrigo Contreras, so Lucas Di Yorio returns to the starting lineup in the attack. With the return of Matías Zaldivia, Nicolás Ramírez leaves the defensive line and goes to the bench; also Israel Poblete is a substitute, for the return of Javier Altamirano to the starting lineup. Advertisement La U comes out with Castellón in goal; Hormazábal, Calderón, Zaldivia and Sepúlveda in defense; Aránguiz and Díaz in the middle; Guerrero, Altamirano and Leandro Fernández further forward; Di Yorio as the attacking reference. This is how O'Higgins lines up against la U The coach Francisco Meneghini must make a mandatory change in the team that just beat Ñublense: Juan Ignacio Díaz suffered a tear and is ruled out. The coach moves Felipe Faúndez to defense, to include Joaquín Montecinos as a winger. They play with Carabalí in goal; Faúndez, González, Robledo and Pavez in defense; Leiva and Lugo in the double pivot; Montecinos and Godoy on the wings; Rabello more loose and up front Calderón.
