SANTIAGO, Chile (Interstat) — Audax Italiano opened its Primera División season with a 2-1 upset victory over CSD Colo-Colo on Sunday at Estadio Monumental David Arellano.

Substitute Eduardo Vargas gave the visitors a lead in the 16th minute, a margin that held until the 88th minute. Colo-Colo midfielder Vicente Pizarro then equalized, appearing to salvage a draw. But deep into stoppage time, Audax Italiano’s Leonardo Valencia scored a dramatic winner.

The match was marred by discipline, featuring two red cards. Audax Italiano’s Nicolás Orellana was sent off in the 74th minute, and Colo-Colo’s Emiliano Amor followed in the final moments. The result defied pre-match projections that heavily favored the home side.
