Report taken from the Everton Ruleteros Society facebook page.
Everton return to the top-flight with a well deserved victory in Concepción. They almost fell behind on 10 minutes when the referee signalled a ridiculous penalty for the home side. They obliged by shooting wild. The rest of the half saw the locals dominating although Everton had the clearer chances. Just before the break the visitors took the lead with a fine header from Muñoz. The second half saw the locals again pressing . On the hour Everton were denied a clear foul on the edge of the box - UDEC went up the field and were awarded their second spot kick after a naive forward's tackle from Cerrato - 1-1.
Just as we imagined the worst, Muñoz re-established the lead with another fine strike. Ten minutes from the end the locals were reduced to 10 men after Cerrato was hacked down, not for the first time. Everton were now attacking with ease and would have doubled their score but for poor finishing. A third was added just before the end - no more than they deserved.
So, after 2 years in the second division, Everton return to the top-flight to the delight of their 4,000 visiting fans. The 11 hour trip will see many of them just arriving home in time to clock-on on Monday morning.
