Universidad Católica beats Cobresal 5-1 but is knocked out of Copa de la Liga

Universidad Católica defeated Cobresal 5-1 in their Group C match of the Copa de la Liga 2026, yet the win was not enough to advance; Ñublense's victory secured the semifinal spot instead. Forward Justo Giani, who scored the third goal, addressed recent rumors of interest from Argentinos Juniors, stating he is happy in Chile, has a contract through year‑end, and will focus on the team.

The result leaves Católica to resume its league campaign while Cobresal prepares for upcoming fixtures against Colo Colo.
