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.
