El Malevo makes history: first international point on Sudamericana debut | OneFootball

Deportivo Riestra began its international journey with a valuable 0-0 draw against Palestino of Chile on Matchday 1 of the 2026 Copa Sudamericana Group F. The match, played at the Pedro Bidegain Stadium, was an even contest in which the defenses got the better of 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 situation. In the second half, the pace dropped and the only dangerous chance was a header from Antony Alonso that skimmed the post.

With this result, both teams temporarily top the group with one point, awaiting 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.
