Universidad de Chile 2-2 Oriente Petrolero

Ronal Rea put Oriente ahead a minute after the break with a deflected shot and when Mauricio Saucedo doubled the advantage with a chip over the keeper two minutes later it was a long way back for "La U". However, it took them just a minute to halve the deficit through a Carlos Bueno header and they levelled 20 minutes after Edson Puch beat the offside trap to fire home. The second leg for this one is next week.
