Universidad de Chile women defeat Palestino 3-1 in Liga Femenina 2026 match

Universidad de Chile's women's team won 3‑1 against Palestino at the Estadio Santiago Bueras in Maipú, securing second place in the 2026 Liga Femenina. The victory was highlighted by goals from Natalia Pino, Helen Galaz, Valentina Díaz and Rebeca Fernández.

After the match, coach Cristóbal Jiménez criticised the refereeing, saying “No hay que confundir el darle continuidad a las acciones con acciones que son claramente faltas” and arguing that clear fouls, including a missed penalty, were not called. He called for broader self‑critique among all football participants.

Palestino, despite the loss, prepared for its upcoming fixture against Universidad Católica at the Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna, with coach Rodrigo Figueroa noting the team's growing maturity and tactical development.
