CobreloaD. La Serena started the match strongly and quickly took the lead. In the 24th minute, F. Chamorro opened the scoring with an assist from M. Marin. Just 19 minutes later, Marin became a scorer by netting the second goal, leaving his team with a 2-0 advantage at halftime.
However, the landscape changed in the second half. Cobreloa, who had been outplayed, managed to pull one back in the 56th minute with a goal from S. Zuniga. This goal ignited hope in the visiting team, which began to press more and create dangerous situations.
Despite the victory, D. La Serena displayed defensive weaknesses. The home team committed 5 fouls in the second half, reflecting a lack of control in midfield and an inability to handle Cobreloa's pressure, which had 60% possession during that period.
This raises a question about La Serena's ability to maintain their lead in future matches, especially considering their defense was exposed on several occasions.
