Universidad Católica vs Sol de América

After the confirmation of Juan Fuentes as a new reinforcement for the second round of the National Championship. The crusaders hope to stay alive in the South American Cup when they host Sol de América in the return match Thursday in San Carlos de Apoquindo.

Universidad Católica sold Benjamín Kuscevic to Palmeiras, so they quickly moved to have the former O'Higgins in their ranks and not lose power for a possible arrival in the round of 16 of the continental tournament, of course they must win in San Carlos.

In the first leg, those led by Ariel Holan drew goalless with the Paraguayans, so the away tie was not bad but insufficient to take a step in favor of qualifying for the next round. Even so, the key is in favor of the crusaders who define local.

Of course, not everything is positive and by not scoring goals in Paraguay, Católica must win, since a draw would lead them to a penalty shootout. University students must make an important blow of authority to confirm their candidate badge as indicated in the Pre-Cordillera.
