Copa Chile 2026: Colo Colo lineup shift, Wanderers attendance dispute, and Limache‑Coquimbo clash

Colo Colo coach Fernando Ortiz announced three changes to the starting XI for the Copa Chile Group E match against Unión Española, aiming to preserve the team’s lead at the top of the table. The side later defeated Unión Española 3‑0, but young forward Felipe Raipán was sent off after just three minutes for a reckless challenge.

Ahead of their Group D fixture, Santiago Wanderers director Andrés Sánchez condemned the authorities’ decision to limit stadium capacity to 8,000 seats for only the home‑team supporters, saying, “Están matando al fútbol de la región.” The restriction means Universidad de Chile fans will be barred from attending the match.

In Group A, Deportes Limache will travel to face Coquimbo Unido on 1 July at the Estadio Bicentenario Lucio Fariña. The game is scheduled for 18:00 local time, with broadcast times listed for several South‑American countries.
