Arturo Vidal slams referee after red card in Colo Colo 👀
Colo Colo did not have a good day this Sunday in their visit to Audax Italiano at the Bicentenario de La Florida. The team of Jorge Almirón fell 2-1 in a match with a heated ending, although things seemed to be going better just a few minutes before, when they had tied through Francisco Marchant, who scored his first goal with the Cacique jersey. But Audax regained the lead with a goal from Leonardo Valencia, and minutes later Arturo Vidal was sent off. Advertisement The unusual thing was the way the 'King' saw the red card, after receiving a second yellow card for protesting the first one. Vidal started a strong discussion with referee Fernando Vejar and left the field in a state of confusion. Arturo Vidal will miss the next game for the Whites, which will be the classic against Universidad Católica, in the pending match of the 5th round of the 2025 First Division. If he doesn't receive more than one game, he will be available again for the other classic, against Universidad de Chile, in the other postponed match, of the 7th round. Vidal spoke to the media after the match and placed the blame for what happened on the referee, whom he criticized for his reaction and lack of character. Advertisement "If a referee doesn't have the character to referee a Colo Colo match, I think he shouldn't referee. In second or third division he could, if he doesn't like the pressure. If he can't handle a high-level player, or a captain who tells him things, and he gives him a yellow card for that, I think it's crazy. Hopefully, in the next matches, we'll get better referees".

📝 Arturo Vidal scores from the spot as Colo Colo see off La Calera
📝 Arturo Vidal scores from the spot as Colo Colo see off La Calera It was a discreet game that Colo Colo played at the Estadio Municipal Nicolás Chahuán Nazar, but it was enough to add a new victory in the Liga de Primera 2025. The team of Jorge Almirón, who was not on the sidelines due to a sanction, had to resist in the first minutes, when Unión La Calera seemed more determined to have the ball and attack. The first half hour of play was intense and disputed, but without great chances in the goals. Colo Colo defeated La Calera by the minimum Without being able to practically shoot at the rival goal throughout the first half, near the end of that first half Lucas Cepeda fell in the rival area, and after verifying the foul in the VAR, the referee awarded the penalty to Cacique. Advertisement Their captain, Arturo Vidal, took care of the execution and gave the advantage to Colo Colo, which would be definitive. With this victory, Colo Colo reached 17 points in 10 games played, to climb to ninth place in the table, and remain 9 points away from the leaders, Coquimbo Unido and Audax Italiano. The Whites still have three pending games (against Iquique, corresponding to the 8th date, and the classics against U de Chile and Universidad Católica), so virtually, in case of winning them, they would be reaching the top of the table. The duel against the Cementeros also left a bad news for Colo Colo and for Jorge Almirón: the concern about the possible injury of Sebastián Vegas. Advertisement The central defender suffered a hard blow in the first half, and although he wanted to continue in the game, he could not. He was replaced by Jonathan Villagra at 20 minutes of play.

First move? Cristián Zavala set to leave Colo Colo for a spell in Argentina
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Cristián Zavala would have everything in place to leave Colo Colo on loan and play in Argentine football. The 25-year-old winger is now linked to Newell's Old Boys. The team from Rosario would have already initiated the procedures to carry out the transfer, which would include a purchase option after the end of the loan period. #MercadoDePases | 🚨 Acuerdo total para que Cristian Zavala sea REFUERZO de #Newells. Ya se cruzan contratos con Colo Colo 🇨🇱 para que el extremo chileno de 25 años se sume a la Lepra a préstamo con cargo y opción de compra ✍️🏼. — Mercado de Pases (@MDePasesArg) May 26, 2025 The information was spread through Twitter, through the Argentine journalist Uriel Lugt. No details of the operation were disclosed, nor were there any confirmations or official voices regarding the matter. If the loan is finalized, Zavala would have his first experience outside of Chilean football. The attacker has suffered ups and downs during his stay at Colo Colo. Emerging from Coquimbo Unido, he had stints at Fernández Vial and Melipilla, before landing at the Cacique, where he struggled to make a place for himself. In 2023, he played the entire season on loan at Curicó Unido and gained momentum, and then had his best season at Colo Colo in 2024. However, more recently and under the command of Jorge Almirón, Zavala lost ground again and was relegated, so a new loan is a plausible option. 📸 RODRIGO ARANGUA - AFP or licensors
