Julio Martínez Prádanos National Stadium hosts this Friday, September 25, the second-leg clash between Colo Colo and Audax Italiano in the Copa Chile 2026 round of 16. After the 0-0 draw in the first leg, highlighted by saves from Eduardo Villanueva and Tomás Ahumada, the tie remains completely open.
Colo Colo manager Fernando Ortiz is preparing two strategic changes: he will give 18-year-old youngster Gedeón Díaz a starting spot out wide and will back Javier Correa as the lone No. 9, with academy product Cristian Díaz added in midfield. Meanwhile, Audax boss Patricio Graff will respond by reshaping his attack: he will sacrifice Damián Pizarro to make way for the duo of Diego Coelho and Franco Troyansky, supplied by the creativity of César Pinares. A promise of excitement in the capital.
