colocolo.gifMany Latinas were watching Premio Lo Nuestro last night but not this Latina. Last night I settled with a glass of wine as the only woman in a room full of screaming male futbol fanatics to watch Colo Colo vs River Plate in the Copa Libertadores. The campeones de Chile, Colo Colo, were beat 2-1 by Argentina’s River Plate. The first goal via River’s Leonardo Ponzio came right as half-time began. The goal was protested by many of Colo’s players who say the whistle to restart play was never blown (I sure didn’t see or hear it blow). The second River goal came via Ernesto Farias in the second half of the game.

Copa Sudamericana Brings President Bachelet to Estadio Nacional

colocolo.gifChilean Presidenta Michelle Bachelet didn’t go to Augusto Pinochet‘s funeral but yesterday she did witness another loss in Santiago’s Estadio Nacional, where many were detained after the 1973 military coup. Mexico’s oldest soccer clube, Pachuca came from behind to beat my favorite team, Chile’s Colo Colo 2-1 and win the Copa Sudamericana.

Pachuca, Mexico’s oldest club, silenced a 60,000 crowd at the Estadio Nacional as they won the final 3-2 on aggregate to become the first Mexican team to win a South American club competition.

I think more Chilenos were torn up about Colo’s loss than the loss of Pinochet.

The first leg of this final is going to played tonight against the Mexican team Pachuca in Mexico.
