Libertadores Cup
Colo Colo celebrates 98 years of life and hopes to crown the day in the match against Monagas, which will be played at the Monumental stadium. The whites have never even tangled a draw against Venezuelan rivals in the Copa Libertadores, in their 18 games played.
Colo Colo celebrates this day 98 years. Almost a century has passed since in the El Llano stadium in San Miguel, the “rebels” led by David Arellano decided to get out of Magellan to create a new team, without imagining that over time it would be the most successful in Chile.
A birthday that this year coincided with the match that the Cacique will play against Monagas, for the Copa Libertadores, starting at 9:00 p.m. at the Monumental stadium. An occasion where fans hope to celebrate with a victory, the one that history should come.
This is because the albos have a record mark in the most important continental tournament in America, since they have a clean basket against Venezuelan rivals: the 18 games played, they have won all of them both at home and away against the seven rivals from that country that they had to face .
A mark that began in 1964, when they beat him 4-0 in Santiago and 2-1 in Caracas. It continued in 1988, when they first traveled to Venezuela to beat Marítimo 1-0 and Táchira 1-0, opponents whom they beat in the Nacional 1-0 and 2-0.
The streak was extended in 1997, when they faced Mineros and Minervén. In the Monumental he beat both 1-0 with many doubts, while in Puerto Ordaz he thrashed Mineros 4-1 and beat Minervén 2-1. Thus ended the 20th century with 10 consecutive victories.
In 2007, against Caracas, they won 4-0 on the road (with Alexis Sánchez’s hattrick) and almost lost that mark in Macul: they were 1-1 until in discounts a penalty was sanctioned against the team of Bichi Borghi, which Humberto Suazo converted.
The following year, the draw paired them with Unión Maracaibo. It was a 2-0 win in Chile and 3-1 away. Meanwhile, in 2010, they again had to face Deportivo Italia, who they beat in La Ruca 1-0 and in Venezuela 3-2.
“/>The last time they played against Venezuelans was against Deportivo Táchira, in the 2011 Libertadores. With Tolo Gallego on the bench, they easily won 4-2 as a visitor, while at Monumental they won 2-1 with a double from a youngster Diego Rubio.
A heavy backpack for the white players, who have the mission of prolonging a streak that stretches for 59 years and also end up eating a sweet cake to celebrate with the 30,000 fans who will come to cheer on the stadium.
