Malevo made history: first international point on Sudamericana debut | OneFootball

Deportivo Riestra began its international campaign with a valuable 0-0 draw against Palestino of Chile on matchday one of Group F of the 2026 Copa Sudamericana. The match, played at the Pedro Bidegain Stadium, was an evenly contested affair in which the defenses came out on top over the attacks.

During the first half, the visitors threatened early with shots from Sebastián Gallegos and Jonathan Benítez, while the «Malevo» had its clearest chance at the feet of Gabriel Obredor, who was unable to beat goalkeeper Sebastián Pérez in a one-on-one. In the second half, the tempo dropped and the only dangerous chance was a header from Antony Alonso that skimmed the post.

With this result, both sides temporarily top the group with one point, pending the clash between Grêmio and Montevideo City Torque. The next challenge for the Bajo Flores side will be on Tuesday, April 14, when they visit Grêmio in Porto Alegre.
