Ñublense arrived with high spirits at its premiere at the South American Cupbecause it is the pointer of the National Championship, and it was measured against one of the most mediocre teams at the beginning of Chilean football, Unión La Calera, but football said that the first leg was 0-0 at the Nelson Oyarzún de Chillán .
In the first half the best approaches were for the visitors, because they had more of the ball and were at risk thanks to the mobility of Lucas Passerini, although they were never able to go toe-to-toe with goalkeeper Nicola Pérez.
The most controversial play occurred in the 42nd minute, when defender Erick Wiemberg took a ball inside the area from Patricio Rubio, who fell to the ground and Ecuadorian judge Luis Quiroz charged a penalty, which at first glance did not seem to be such.
Alexander Aravena took responsibility and stopped in the 12 steps, because he came with full confidence after scoring a triplet against La Serena, but he was very weak and Argentine goalkeeper Ignacio Arce contained the ball.
In the complement, the supremacy was absolute for the Chilean soccer leader, who threw himself with everything in search of opening the account, and the numbers prove it, because he dominated with 61% of ball control and transformed goalkeeper Arce into figure.
Finally, the goal never came and everything is defined on March 15, when from 9:30 p.m. they will meet in the rematch that will be played at the Nicolás Chahuán stadium.
