Cobresal welcome Talleres Cordoba to Estadio Zorros del Desierto for a Copa Libertadores group game on Thursday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw at home to Nublense in the Chilean Primera Division. They were two goals down by the 24th minute thanks to goals from Pedro Sanchez and Gabriel Graciani. Leonardo Valencia halved the deficit three minutes later while Sergio Carrasco drew the game level with five minutes to go.
Talleres Cordoba also shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw away to Independiente in the Argentine Copa de La Liga Profesional. They had to overcome a two-goal halftime deficit, as well as being a man down following goals by Adrian Sporle and Alexia Canelo and Miguel Navarro's double-booking. Federico Girotti and Gaston Benavidez scored after the break to share the spoils.
La T will turn their focus to the continent, where their last game also saw them draw 2-2 away to Barcelona SC. Cobresal suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Sao Paulo.
The loss left them at the bottom of Group B on one point. Talleres Cordoba sit at the summit on four points.
