M. Romero opened the scoring in the twenty-second minute with a precise finish. To be fair, the visitors had not really settled into the game. The home side controlled the midfield from the outset.

F. Raipan put the result beyond doubt in the fifty-first minute. He finished a quick counter-attack before the visitors could settle. By then, the lead extended to three goals.
T. Alarcon and M. Fernandez came on for Colo-Colo in the sixty-seventh minute. Unión Española brought on Celis and Jaramillo shortly after. A yellow card for M. Ormeno appeared in stoppage time.
The statistics showed a clear dominance by the home side. Colo-Colo registered eleven shots on target compared to four for the visitors. They also completed seventy attacks against fifty-six. Possession favoured the hosts at fifty-five percent.
This result extends a positive run for the hosts. They have won four of their last five matches. Unión Española have dropped points in two of their last five outings. The gap in form is visible.
