🔥Historic first: Chilean football conquers South America | OneFootball

What began as a week of continental challenges ended in an unprecedented feat for Chilean football. For the first time in the history of Conmebol competitions, three Chilean clubs managed to win away from home in the same week, breaking a statistical barrier that had seemed unreachable after 14 previous failed attempts.

The heroes of the international round

The feat was led by Coquimbo Unido, who beat Universitario 2-0 in Lima, and was sealed with two epic wins in Brazil: Universidad Católica defeated Cruzeiro 2-1, and Audax Italiano did the same against Vasco da Gama by the same scoreline. These results not only place the national teams among today’s elite, but also set a new standard for competitiveness away from home.

The end of a historic streak

Until now, the best record had been two wins in the same week, as happened in July 2024. This treble puts Chile at the top of South American football on a matchweek that will be remembered in the record books.
