Alba’s side picked up a valuable victory when they visited Brazil at the start of the Copa Libertadores group stage.
Colo Colo started their participation in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores 2022 well. The cast led by Gustavo Quinteros made a good proposal and ended up beating Fortaleza 1-2 in Brazil.

In this duel, there were two players who were highlighted by the Brazilian press. Juan Martín Lucero and Pablo Solari took their eyes off the encounter .
In this way, UOL pointed out that “Lucero and Solari were the two most influential players in the Chilean attack in the match played in Castelão . The front Lucero was everywhere and confused the opposing defense with moves, passes and shots . Solari, a midfielder, was the brains of the team on the pitch and dictated the intensity of the Chileans . He also got a goal.
They also recognized the proposal presented by Gustavo Quinteros and appreciated the club’s experience in the competition. “With more experienced players in the Libertadores matches, Colo Colo was able to impose itself. The opposing team managed to smother Fortaleza in their field and, when they had the ball, they were quite vertical. It was with this recipe that the team managed to score both goals and control the match ”.
Lance, for his part, pointed to Fortaleza’s downfall on his debut in the competition. “Fortaleza played its first match in a Copa Libertadores de América. The result, however, was not what the fans expected, who packed the Castelão Arena in support of the team, only to see Colo-Colo win 2-1. . Lucero and Solari scored the goals for Cacique, while Renato Kaysar scored for Leão”.
In turn, Globoesporte highlighted one of the first arrivals of the Cacique in the first half. “Colo Colo started with more chances and put pressure on Fortaleza. Marcelo Benevenuto performed a miracle and saved the ball on the line after Solari’s shot in the eighth minute ”.
