Audax Italiano Held to a Goalless Draw in the Return to the Primera División
Santiago, Chile - Universidad de Chile made a triumphant return to the iconic Estadio Nacional on Saturday, claiming a crucial 1-0 victory over Audax Italiano in the Chilean Primera División. A stunning recontragolazo from the experienced forward Chorri Palacios proved to be the decisive moment in a hard-fought match.
The match was a tale of two halves, with Audax Italiano controlling the opening period but failing to convert their chances. Universidad de Chile, on the other hand, came out with renewed vigor in the second half and took the lead through Palacios' spectacular strike.
From outside the penalty area, Palacios unleashed a powerful shot that curled into the far corner, leaving Audax Italiano goalkeeper Joaquín Muñoz stranded. The goal sent the Estadio Nacional into a frenzy and gave Universidad de Chile a much-needed boost in their quest for the league title.
With the victory, Los Azules moved up to fifth place in the table, just three points behind league leaders Colo-Colo. Audax Italiano, meanwhile, remain in eighth place, still searching for their first win of the season.
The match was also notable for the return of Universidad de Chile to the Estadio Nacional, their former home ground. The stadium had undergone extensive renovations since the last time Los Azules played there, and the team was eager to make a statement in their return.
After the match, Palacios expressed his delight at scoring the winning goal and praised the team's spirit. "It was a special night for all of us," Palacios said. "We knew that we needed to win this game, and we fought hard until the end. The fans were amazing, and I'm so happy that we could reward them with a victory."
