Colo Colo had to settle for a one-on-one draw with Unión Española in the National Championship, which did not leave Gustavo Quinteros very satisfied with his performance, but which highlighted the importance of adding as a visitor.
Colo Colo adds a point as a visitor by equaling one by one with Unión Española in the 2023 National Championship. The Colocolina score came through Alexander Oroz, who was one of the surprises in the formation of the Cacique, while the tie for the Hispanics It came through Rodrigo Piñeiro.

Gustavo Quinteros analyzes the tie between Colo Colo
Coach Gustavo Quinteros spoke with the media where he analyzed Colo Colo’s draw. “We started the game well, then they started a little better, the last 20-25 minutes we played well again. But we lacked the filtered pass, the last diagonal, reaching with depth and with more clarity, it was a game that they tied with our error”.
It was along these same lines that the strategist added that “once again we make a mistake in clearing and at the start. Adding here is always important because this is a difficult field. We all want to win, but when you don’t give yourself many chances during the match, you don’t have to lose”.
The coach even pointed out that “but we have played better, the last 15 minutes we played better. The game was regular, with the system that we started they had a lot of freedom on the wings and they reached three quarters with which they could send crosses and assist. After we changed, improved and blocked them, there were few dangerous situations. They had a couple, so did we, and we lacked clarity.”
Ownership of Alexander Oroz
Another of the points that DT touched on was the ownership of Alexander Oroz, who ended up responding to the coach’s confidence with Colo Colo’s goal. “Yes, a rebound there that Damián was able to fight in the area. The boys are maturing, they have been working with us for two or three years, they are maturing and will stay to play with us.. The others have to continue to go through the process of going in and out, of having experiences.”
Damian Pizarro’s work
Regarding what has to do with Damián Pizarro, the strategist told how they work with the white center forward. “He works a lot on the pivots, on the headers, on the profiles. So I think that within six months, a year, he will be an extraordinary player. Selection player for sure. we are happy with him”.
Finally, he highlighted the presence of the youth players who are gaining experience in the first team. “The truth is that we have a lot of bad luck, a lot of bad luck, but hey, We are playing with a lot of kids and today with six or seven players under 20 years of age.. We are playing with the reinforced projection”.
