Colo Colo knocked out of Chile's Copa de la Liga after Coquimbo United win

Colo Colo entered the final round of the Copa de la Liga needing a win against Huachipato to stay in contention for the semifinals. Their hopes vanished when Coquimbo Unido defeated Deportes Concepción 2‑1, securing the Group A top spot with 14 points and eliminating Colo Colo, who finished second with 10 points.

Fans blamed striker Joaquín Larrivey for a missed scoring opportunity late in the match, claiming the lost goal could have forced a tie and kept Colo Colo alive in the tournament. The controversy sparked a wave of criticism on social media as the team’s campaign ended.

The elimination leaves Colo Colo with one remaining group match against Huachipato, but the result does not affect their progression, confirming their exit from the competition.
