📝 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.

🚨 Colo Colo and Atlético Bucaramanga reveal starting line-ups
The 'Cacique' and the 'Leopards' face off at the Estadio Monumental in Santiago for the final matchday of the group stage of the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores. Colo Colo, bottom of Group E, wants to end the group stage on a high note after a poor campaign in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, but faces an Atlético Bucaramanga side that still dreams of reaching the round of 16 in this competition. Advertisement The 'Albo' are not in their best moment. In the Chilean First Division, they are in 11th place with 14 points; meanwhile, they haven't won a single match and have the worst defense in the tournament with 15 goals conceded in the Copa Libertadores. Colo Colo's Starting Eleven Jorge Almirón, who was confirmed in his position, fields his best players in search of giving joy to his fans. Atlético Bucaramanga, meanwhile, has secured its spot in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, but remains alive and with a chance to qualify for the Libertadores round of 16: they must beat Colo Colo and hope that Racing defeats Fortaleza. On the domestic front, they failed to qualify for the Semifinal Quadrangles. Bucaramanga's Starting Lineup Leonel Álvarez is holding nothing back in search of a key win for his tournament aspirations. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

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
