Santiago, Chile – Palestino kicks off its Copa de la Liga campaign on Monday, March 23, 2026, welcoming Everton de Viña del Mar to the Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna. The Group C match is slated to begin at 8:30 PM local time (23:30 UTC), marking the start of a new national tournament for both clubs.
Cristián Muñoz’s Palestino side aims to start strong and secure all three points on home turf. Everton, currently leading Group C according to Sofascore, enters the contest following a draw against Universidad Católica in the 2026 Liga de Primera Mercado Libre. This match represents an early test for both teams as they vie for position within the group.
Palestino enters this match with aspirations of topping their group. Their recent head-to-head record against Everton fuels that ambition. The last encounter between the two sides took place on October 24, 2025, during the 25th matchday of the 2025 Liga de Primera. Palestino emerged victorious in that contest with a 2-1 scoreline, thanks to goals from Jason León and Junior Arias.
The result mirrored an earlier victory in the first round of the 2025 local tournament, where Palestino defeated Everton 1-2 even as playing as the away team. Joe Abrigo and Junior Marabel found the back of the net in that match. These recent successes will undoubtedly provide a confidence boost for La Tribuna as they prepare for Monday’s clash.
