Vidal leads Colo-Colo's title party, but Vozinha steals the ovation

Colo-Colo clinched their 35th Chilean league title with a 2-1 away win at Ñublese, with goalkeeper Vozinha making a crucial late save and earning standing ovation at the Monumental.

Colo-Colo won the Chilean Primera División title on Sunday after defeating Ñublense 2-1 away, securing an unassailable 10-point lead over Universidad de Chile with three matches remaining. Goalkeeper Josimar José Évora Dias 'Vozinha', 40, was the standout performer in the title-clinching match, making a crucial save in the final moments that could have allowed a rival equaliser.

The Cape Verdean keeper was given a standing ovation by fans at the Monumental stadium during the trophy celebration.

Midfielder Arturo Vidal dominated the post-match festivities, taking the microphone to sing with supporters and direct chants against arch-rivals Universidad de Chile, whose last domestic title came in 2017. Club president Aníbal Mosa announced that manager Fernando Ortiz's contract renewal is close to completion, with talks progressing well.

Mosa also confirmed the club will address other key renewals, including those of Vidal and Vozinha, both of whose contracts expire in December.
