Colo Colo Faces Fortaleza in Crucial Libertadores Match Tonight

FORTALEZA, Brazil – Colo Colo will face Fortaleza on May 6, 2025, in a critical Copa Libertadores match at the Estadio Arena Castelão. The game is vital for Colo Colo’s ambitions to advance to the knockout stage after previous disciplinary actions by Conmebol left them at the bottom of Group E with just two points.

Head coach Jorge Almirón’s team arrives in Fortaleza after a tough loss to Limache in the local league, while their last Libertadores match was marred by spectator incidents, leading to a forfeit.

Fortaleza sits in third place in Group E with four points, tied with Racing and trailing the group leader, Atlético Bucaramanga. Both teams need a victory to keep their hopes alive of moving on in the tournament.

The match is scheduled for 8:30 PM Chile Time, and fans in Chile can watch the game live on Chilevisión, with coverage also available on ESPN Premium and streaming through MiCHV and Pluto TV.

Colo Colo’s anticipated lineup features Brayan Cortés in goal, with a defense led by Alan Saldivia, Emiliano Amor, and Sebastián Vegas. Midfield includes Mauricio Isla, Esteban Pavez, Arturo Vidal, Claudio Aquino, and Erick Wiemberg, while Javier Correa and Lucas Cepeda are expected to lead the attack.

If Colo Colo loses, they risk elimination from the tournament, making this match a decisive moment in their campaign.
