[Sport] The 5 bad streaks that Colo Colo ended with Morales' goal

[FNX Magokiler]

With Iván Morales' goal in the 90th minute, Colo Colo ended a series of bad runs that had dragged on for months. Some even before the recess due to the coronavirus pandemic. El Cacique defeated Antofagasta 1-0 and left the penultimate position of the table.

1.- End of 248 days without wins
Colo Colo had not won since March 7 for the National Tournament. 248 days have passed since the 2-1 win against Deportes La Serena at La Portada stadium, also with an agonizing goal. That time it was with a goal from César Fuentes. They were nine games without winning, with four draws and five defeats.

2.- The Monumental was saved
The Cacique 2020 avoided becoming, alone, the white team with the worst historical streak without victories at the Monumental Stadium, by First Division National Tournaments. They stayed in seven straight games without a win, matching what happened in the 2000 season.

3.- The first celebration of Quinteros
Colo Colo achieved his first victory with Gustavo Quinteros sitting on the bench. It was in the sixth game and before he had two draws and three defeats, between the National Tournament and the Copa Libertadores.

4.- The relief of Morales
It has been a year and three months since Iván Morales did not score a goal for the points, with the Colo Colo shirt. After a long inactivity due to injury, the white striker was able to meet again with the festivities.

He had not scored since July 21, 2019, in the 3-0 win over Barnechea for the Chile Cup. And for the National Tournament, his last goal had been on May 11 of last year, in 2-1 against Palestino. And it was also agonizing: in the fifth minute of added time.

5.- Out of danger (for now)
After five consecutive dates, Colo Colo managed to get out of the penultimate place in the 2020 table, which had him playing a defining match for relegation. The last time he was not in position 17 was on the eleventh date (15th). Today is sixteenth.
