Chile Wrap: Colo Colo, Catolica suffer defeats

Hector Tapia's league-leading Colo Colo side gave up a lead in a surprise 2-1 loss at home to Universidad Concepcion on Sunday.But they still remain seven points clear at the top after Catolica were beaten at Cobreloa in another shock on Saturday.

At the Estadio Monumental David Arellano, Colo Colo looked on track for victory when Esteban Paredes struck his 11th league goal of the campaign.

O'Higgins moved level on points with Catolica after a come-from-behind 3-2 win over a Cobresal side who finished their encounter with eight men.

Ever Cantero's early brace had Cobresal ahead away from home but the clash was level by half-time as Pablo Hernandez and Diego Chaves – with a penalty – scored.

Carlos Herrera picked up a second yellow card early in the second half and Osman Huerta put O'Higgins ahead soon after.
