Colo Colo achieved a crucial 4-2 victory over Deportes La Serena, solidifying their first-place standing in the Liga de Primera with 33 points. The team's fifth consecutive win keeps them on track for their 35th league title.
However, the match was marked by notable errors from 18-year-old goalkeeper Gabriel Maureira, who gifted the opposition two goals through poor judgment when leaving his line. These mistakes, though costly, did not prevent Colo Colo from securing the win.
Despite appearing visibly frustrated during the game, head coach Fernando Ortiz publicly backed his young goalkeeper. Ortiz stated that he would never blame an individual player for errors and that his anger was directed at aspects of the team's overall performance. He affirmed that Maureira has the full support of himself and his teammates, aiming to protect the club's prospect from undue criticism.
