Cobresal escaped the risk of relegation and sank Coquimbo to the bottom of the Championship | Football24 News English

Cobresal defeated Coquimbo Unido 0-1 in a vital duel at the “Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso” Stadium and escaped the risk of decline and plunged the “pirates” to the bottom of the leaderboard, from which they could not leave after playing their five pending duels.

The “miners” also fell three points from the qualifying zone for the Copa Sudamericana, with 40 units.

The game was very tense and did not have many arrivals in the first half, a stage in which the locals approached with greater danger, having his best finish in 14 minutes, with a shot from Lautaro Palacios that goalkeeper Leandro Requena repelled splendidly.

In the second half, the visitors left better and were able to arrive to the only goal of the commitment in the 66 ‘, thanks to Juan Carlos Gaete, who defined before a poor output of goalkeeper Matías Cano, so much so that in this meeting he condemned the “aurinegros”, who warned with some headbutts of Mauricio Pinilla, but did not reach a draw.

Now, those led by Gustavo Huerta will play an important duel in the fight to enter the South American against Huachipato this Sunday, while Coquimbo (31 points) will continue with his string of duels and his illusion of saving himself from relegation, facing the same Sunday University of Concepción.
