Universidad de Chile fails to rediscover the victories and this Sunday added its third draw in a row. El Romántico Viajero drew a goalless match against Deportes Copiapó, in a match where Cristopher Toselli had his long-awaited debut.
The former goalkeeper from Universidad Católica made his debut as a firefighter in Valparaíso, after having to enter the field in an emergency after Cristóbal Campos’ physical problems. With a notable intervention, he immediately earned the applause of the fans and already makes the student body happy.
Cristopher Toselli surprised everyone when he appeared dressed in shorts and with gloves on at halftime of the game with Copiapó. The goalkeeper jumped onto the field to replace the starter, who had discomfort in his back, being demanded immediately.
It was 50′ into the game when Reiner Castro overflowed on the left and took a powerful shot that the goalkeeper managed to send off for a corner kick. In the next play he conceded a goal that was annulled with controversy by the VAR, thus managing to keep his goal at zero.
His performance as a firefighter, putting out the fire caused by the sudden departure of Cristóbal Campos, left the fans satisfied. The club was not far behind and this Monday he left a loving message on social networks.
“Congratulations on the debut. Cristopher Toselli entered the second half of the match against Deportes Copiapó and lived his debut with the Romántico Viajero shirt”, they launched in the first instance, to later share the record of his great moment in the goal.
“Cap, Cris! At its premiere, Cristopher Toselli left us this great intervention against Deportes Copiapó,” they said.
For now, the fans of Universidad de Chile are waiting to hear the medical report on the condition of Cristóbal Campos. With the tournament paused for almost a month, he will have time to recover, but a friendly against River Plate is coming up, where everything indicates that Cristopher Toselli will be the starter.
