Palestino Edges Everton in Chilean Primera División Opener
SANTIAGO, Chile (Interstat) — Palestino opened its Chilean Primera División campaign with a 2-1 victory over Everton on Friday at Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna. Jason León put the visiting side ahead in the 61st minute, but Palestino responded with two goals in an 11-minute span. Junior Arias leveled the match in the 72nd minute before Sebastián Sosa netted the winner. The result defied a pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Palestino a 67% chance to win but had simulated a 1-1 draw. The match was a physical affair, featuring nine yellow cards. Both clubs now hold 0-0 records to start the season.
