Colo-colo is the only "big team" in semi-finals
Colo-colo defeated Huachipato 4-2, becoming in the only "big team" in semi-finals of the Chilean Soccer League. Universidad Católica and Universidad de Chile (the other "big teams") were eliminated by Rangers and Cobreloa, respectively.
The "UC" draw 1-1, but it isn't enough because Rangers scores 3 goals like away team and this is duplicated, doing that Rangers have more goals.
While the "U" win 3-2, but because of the goals that Cobreloa scored the team was eliminated.
The teams which are in semi-finals are: Colo-colo, Palestino, Rangers and Cobreloa.
If Colo-colo were eliminated, a "small team" would win the league.
Chile eliminated from World Cup
The U-20 female Chilean soccer team was defeated by New Zealand for 3-4 in the U-20 female FIFA World Cup. This result means the elimination of Chile from the World Cup, because they haven't points and two other teams in their group have more than three points, which causes that the Chileans can't catch up the other teams in the next match.
The Chilean's goals were scored by Daniela Pardo, Francisca Mardones and Daniela Zamora. The New Zealand's goals were done by Renee Leota and Rosie White, this last in three times.
"Las Rojitas" have another match opposite to Nigeria, in Tuesday. In this match, the team cans win its firsts points to don't retire from World Cup with any point.
But it doesn't matter, everyone will remember the effort and the sacrifice that they did. They are beginners and their level is almost as good as a professional team. This suggests that the girls have a very good future and they'll give much happiness to our country.
