© ALEJANDRO PIZARRO/PHOTOSPORTUC won its first game of 2024 and confidently arrives at the preseason University Classic.
After having left many doubts in its preseason in Peru, Universidad Católica silenced the criticism in the north of the country. This Wednesday the Crusaders defeated Coquimbo Unidos by the minimum score at the start of the 2024 Summer Cup.
The cast led by Nicolás Núñez showed an improvement in their game, but the result fell short of what the fans expected. However, the victory allows them to take a breath after the problems seen in the neighboring country a few days ago.
Catholic University takes a breath at the cost of Coquimbo Kingdom
Universidad Católica has suffered greatly from the absence of its young figures such as Alexander Aravena and Gonzalo Tapia, who are with Chile in the Pre-Olympic. The situation has forced the Crusaders to improvise positions and this Wednesday things, luckily for them, went well.
Against Coquimbo United, Nicolás Núñez presented a formation with Sebastian Perez; Branco Ampuero, Gary Kagelmacher, Alfonso Parot; William Soto, Lucas Menossi, Augustine Farias, Eugene Mena, Cesar Pinares; Christian Caves and Fernando Zampedri. The eleven surprised by the tactical order, but left results.

And the Catholic University went out with everything to seek victory to silence the criticism. The award came in the 33rd minute of play, when the new right back faced the back of the field and made a back pass that Keno defined perfectly from the penalty spot to make it 0 to 1.
Already in the complement, the Crusaders lowered the intensity and allowed Coquimbo Kingdom to get on top of them. To make matters worse, the UC had to see how Fernando Zampedri left the field at the start due to physical problems, which allowed Nicolás Castillo to enter.
The Pirates were enthusiastic and were close to getting the tie. The clearest was in the 88th minute, when Sebastián Pérez excelled with a double block to save the goal of those on the fringe.
All of this was experienced as a preview of what will be the key for the preliminary phase of the Copa Sudamericana between both teams. For now, UC takes the victory, but the homeowners found spaces to make things difficult for them.
Thus, Universidad Católica adds its first victory of 2024 and is filled with confidence for its next challenge. On Saturday, January 27, from 7:00 p.m., the Crusaders will collide with the University of Chile in the University Classic of the Summer Cup.
