Revenge was claimed: Gabriel Costa scores Colo Colo’s 3-0 win over Real Betis in a friendly match | VIDEO

Gabriel Costa was left with a bitter taste in the first half of Colo Colo vs. Real Betis, since he missed 1-0 after his penalty was saved by Nicolás Gamboa. However, the Peruvian nationalized Uruguayan midfielder claimed revenge in the complementary stage.

At minute 70, Juan Martín Lucero received the ball, dodged an opponent and, among three players, hit a filtered pass for the former Sporting Cristal player. Then, the ‘8’ entered the area of ​​the Spanish team and starred in a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Costa subtly defined before the goalkeeper left and thus made the third for the white team in this friendly match. With the goal of the soccer player, the ‘Cacique’, who is the current champion of the First Division of Chile, also seals the victory

It is important to mention that, throughout the 2022 season, Gabriel played 33 official matches. The player scored 10 goals and also contributed 8 assists. It should be remembered that the athlete’s contract with the Chilean team expires in December of this year and there are still no details about his future.
