Union La Calera 2-2 Universidad de Chile | CHI Liga de Primera

Thrilling Draw at Estadio Municipal Nicolás Chahuán

In a pulsating encounter on the night of June 15, 2026, Union La Calera held Chilean giants Universidad de Chile to a dramatic 2-2 draw. The result kept La Calera in the hunt for a mid-table finish while denying La U the chance to close the gap on the league leaders.

The home side started brightly, pressing high and forcing early turnovers. Their efforts paid off in the 18th minute when a swift counter-attack ended with striker Federico Castro slotting past the goalkeeper. Universidad de Chile responded with typical flair, and just before half-time, midfielder Marcelino Núñez curled a beautiful free kick into the top corner to level the score.

After the break, La U took control. A well-worked corner routine saw defender Bastián Tapia head home in the 57th minute, putting the visitors ahead. Yet Union La Calera showed resilience. With ten minutes remaining, a long ball into the box was mishandled by the away goalkeeper, allowing substitute Gabriel Hauche to poke home the equalizer from close range.

Standing Impact

The draw leaves Universidad de Chile in second place, three points behind leaders Colo-Colo, while Union La Calera remains in eighth, but within striking distance of the top six. Both teams will feel they could have won, but the intensity and quality on display made for a compelling spectacle in the Chilean Primera.
