Summary of the Top 5 Best Players of the Chilean Primera Division | Chilean League Matchday 9 2023
Julián Alfaro – Magallanes
Magallanes came into the matchday 9 game against Universidad Catolica as the weaker of the two teams, since the latter arrived as the leader of the competition. In the first half, the score remained 0-0, but in the 54th minute, the visitors took the lead and it seemed that everything was going to go according to plan.
However, the young Julián Alfaro was in charge of ruining Catolica’s night, who connected with a ball that came from a right flank cross, and scored the equalizer in the 83rd minute.
Maximiliano Rodríguez – Huachipato
Maximiliano Rodríguez had a brilliant performance in Huachipato’s 3-0 win over Everton. The 22-year-old scored the first goal of the game after receiving a pass from teammate Javier Altamirano on his way into the box.
Rodriguez fired a cross-shot that left the opposing goalkeeper with no options. In addition to the goal, he also registered an assist, after picking up the ball and noticing that his teammate, Cris Martínez, was near the goalkeeper’s right post. So, he sent him a cross to finish off and make it 2-0.
Jason Flores – Curico Unido
Jason Flores had not played in Curico Unido’s last three league games. However, in Friday’s match against Nublense, he started and fulfilled his duties as a striker.
The team went into the second half with a 1-1 draw, and the man in charge of putting an end to that was Flores. In the 73rd minute, he went for a ball that seemed lost and took advantage of a poor exit by the goalkeeper to shoot into the open goal and make the final score 2-1.
Leandro Requena – Cobresal
All credit goes to Cobresal for beating the reigning champion Colo Colo by 3-1. Guillermo Pacheco and Cecilio Waterman scored the goals in the first half. However, it is worth highlighting the work of Argentine goalkeeper Leandro Requena.
The goalkeeper saw that the Cacique keeper was well ahead of him and took a shot at goal from his own penalty area. As a result, the opponent could not reach the goal and the goal-to-goal shot entered the net.
Cristopher Toselli – Universidad de Chile
Cristopher Toselli is another goalkeeper who stood out this weekend. He made his debut with Universidad de Chile on matchday 9, after Cristóbal Campos suffered some back problems.
He came on for the start of the second half, and in the 50th minute experienced a few seconds of tension when Reiner Castro made a break down the left and took a powerful shot. Fortunately, he was able to react and sent the ball to the corner kick.
On the corner kick, he finally saw the ball enter his goal. However, the VAR decided to disallow the action for offside. The goalkeeper became a hero by keeping a clean sheet and it seems that they are forgetting that he once played for Universidad Catolica.
