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.

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.

Emilio Azcárraga aims cheeky dig at Chivas and Cruz Azul
América had a tough end to the season, as they added a defeat against Toluca in the Liga MX and against LAFC in a single match for the last ticket to the Club World Cup, followed by a thrashing from San Diego FC. After this series of unfortunate events, Emilio Azcárraga admitted the first half of the year for the Águilas as a "failure" and also took the opportunity to take a jab at Chivas. "América is here to win titles. Not winning is a failure. I prefer to be in the failure of not having won a four-peat than in what others do," he said to TUDN microphones. Advertisement "I have seen interesting memes, one for example says: 'I did see my team win a three-peat, my grandfather didn't have to tell me about it,' which I find very amusing and it's a great truth, because what was done was very impressive," he concluded. América was proclaimed as the first three-time champion in the history of short tournaments, joining the list of Chivas and Cruz Azul who achieved the three-peat between the late 1950s and 1974.

Portugal v Spain: Oyarzabal sets prestigious record 👏
A man for the big occasion. Mikel Oyarzabal had undoubtedly marked this date in his calendar. Facing Portugal in this Nations League final, the Spaniards were keen to further assert their dominance on the European stage. Advertisement For now, it's done since the Real Sociedad striker has given his team the advantage, perfectly assisted by Pedri (45'). If Mikel Oyarzabal is not among the most publicized players on the planet, he is without a doubt one of the most "clutch". At the age of 28, he becomes the top scorer in the history of La Roja in finals. A significant achievement considering how many they have contested!
