NOTE 1:  ONE IN A KIND!  OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY ABOUT "CAMPEON EN LA QUIEBRA" For the first and only time at auction a  Colo-Colo jersey with a known match and provenance from the most remembered local title of Colo-Colo history. Swapped by Nelson Tapia after the match on November 26 2002 during the first leg of second stage when El Cacique defeated Union to reach the quarter-finals and continue on the path to its famous title during the club's financial bankruptcy. Eduardo Lobos played the full campaign with 23 matches.

NOTE 2: By then, the institution was declared bankrupt and did not have the resources to continue, so the motivation and will of the players was the key to the club's survival. Despite all these difficulties, the team led by the champion and captain of the 1991 Copa Libertadores, had a remarkable campaign, where they even ended the curse of not beating Cobreloa in Calama. The icing on the cake would come after beating Universidad Católica 2-0 in the first leg and 3-2 in the final match, winning their 23rd championship.
