Colo-Colo and Audax Italiano are level after a goalless first leg, so Friday's return at the Estadio Nacional settles a Copa Chile quarterfinal place.

Colo-Colo are stronger over the season and won 5-1 a month ago, but they have drawn three straight and scored once in that run, while Audax are tough away. A draw or an Audax Italiano win at 2.25 carries an edge, as do the draw at 4.00 and Audax Italiano at 5.00 to lead at half-time.

Context

With the opening leg goalless, the return starts from level terms rather than an aggregate chase, so the first goal carries outsized weight and neither side can sit on a cushion. Colo-Colo earned the closing leg by topping their Copa Chile group, but it is staged at the Estadio Nacional rather than their own Estadio Monumental, which trims the edge that finishing first was meant to buy. Audax Italiano's own channels framed the return as a chance to go for the tie after a clean sheet in the opener, and the first leg showed they can absorb pressure and keep the game low-scoring. The practical read is a tight decider settled by one moment rather than a running scoreline.
- Colo-Colo's official account confirmed the Copa Chile round-of-16 second leg against Audax Italiano for Friday 25 September at 20:00 at the Estadio Nacional.
- Audax Italiano's official account called the first leg at Ñuñoa a goalless draw and said the return would be 'el viernes ... en este mismo reducto'.
- Radio Sport Chile reported the first leg at the Estadio Nacional left the round-of-16 series 'completamente abierta'.

Colo-Colo are again without Vozinha and Gabriel Maureira, so the position belongs to 21-year-old Eduardo Villanueva rather than a senior deputy. A third-choice keeper changes how a side defends crosses and builds from the back, and TNT Sports reported the club intends to keep backing him for the return. He kept the first leg goalless and was picked as the game's best player, which gives the selection a performance anchor rather than just an emergency one. The limitation is that nothing published confirms either senior keeper is fit again, so this is the working assumption rather than a settled long-term answer.
- Las Últimas Noticias reported that 21-year-old Eduardo Villanueva was chosen as the best player of the 0-0 first leg, taking his chance with Maureira and Vozinha absent.
- TNT Sports reported Colo-Colo will 'sostener a Villanueva' for the return against Audax Italiano.
- PrensaFútbol reported on 21 September 2026 that Maureira was a confirmed absentee and Colo-Colo would have to 'recurrir a su tercer arquero'.
- E. Villanueva started 0 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

Neither club can use its own ground this month: the Estadio Monumental was booked for the Romeo Santos and Prince Royce concerts and Audax Italiano's Bicentenario de La Florida for Robbie Williams, so the whole tie was moved to Ñuñoa. Colo-Colo, as the side that topped their group, are administering the second leg and selling the tickets, yet the venue removes the change of surroundings a two-legged tie normally brings and limits how much a Colo-Colo home leg can feel like one. Both clubs are Santiago-based, so travel and conditions stay familiar. The practical effect is a decider closer to neutral ground than to a hostile home crowd.
- Bolavip Chile reported on 16 September 2026 that both legs would be played at the Estadio Nacional because the Monumental and the Bicentenario de La Florida were booked for concerts.
- En La Ruca reported the two legs would both be staged at the Estadio Nacional on 22 and 25 September.
- Colo-Colo's official account opened ticket sales for the Copa Chile match at the Estadio Nacional on 14 September.

Fernando Ortiz used his post-match briefing to explain why Javier Correa was asked to drop deep and link with the midfielders instead of staying high alongside Maximiliano Romero, calling it an attempt to get a better connection 'con el balón'. He accepted the plan only worked in spells and said there is little training time before Friday, so the staff would instead 'corregir visualmente'. That is a direct signal the return is being planned as a correction of how Colo-Colo attack a compact block rather than a change of personnel or shape. The limit is that a press-conference explanation of the first leg is not a confirmed plan for the second, and Audax Italiano can adjust again.
- Radio Sport Chile reported Ortiz explained the plan for Javier Correa: 'La idea era que Javi se retrase un poco y tenga conexión con el balón.'
- Ortiz said 'no hay tiempo mucho para trabajar, pero sí de corregir visualmente' ahead of the return.
