The football crisis that Colo Colo recently experienced, which almost condemned the club to relegation, has been forgotten, as the team returned to the top zone and was crowned champion this season in advance. This Sunday, the 'Cacique' received the trophy, but before that, they faced O'Higgins and Gabriel Costa, a midfielder for the Peruvian national team, was the protagonist with a goal.
In the 29th round of the Chilean League, the team led by Gustavo Quinteros returned to the David Arellano Monumental Stadium and sought to celebrate big with their fans. However, the match against the 'Celestes' was not easy at all and the parity was only broken in the second half.
Around the 64th minute, Colo Colo recovered the ball in their own area and started a counterattack, with the participation of Gabriel Costa himself: he enabled Esteban Pavez who assisted Marco Rojas. The speed of the play allowed the New Zealander to reach the endline and make a low cross for the Peruvian naturalized player.
Without much difficulty, the former striker of Sporting Cristal, near the penalty spot, shot with his right foot and put the ball into the left corner of the goal guarded by Alexis Martín Arias. Later, 'Kiwi' Rojas sealed the 2-0 scoreline against O'Higgins.
At the end of the match, Colo Colo's players received the medals and the champion's cup, while the fans cheered fervently. It is worth mentioning that, with one game remaining, Gabriel Costa has scored 10 goals and provided four assists in the Chilean League.
