It was a desperate party. Coquimbo needed to win to get out of last place and Cobresal wanted the points to ensure his presence in first place.
But the first time between pirates and miners was poor. Few arrivals at the arches, lack of sparkle in the creation area and too many passes to the sides was the keynote of the initial 45 minutes. If to find the first arrival of danger, you have to move to the first quarter of an hour: A deep pass that reached the feet of Lautaro Palacios and the striker who broke it in the South American Cup met with the good response of goalkeeper Leandro Requena.
And there it stops counting, because although there were skirmishes that woke up the fans of both squads (and those of Colo Colo and Universidad de Chile as well), the siesta seemed eternal at Sánchez Rumoroso.
But apparently, Gustavo Huerta’s coffee was loaded in the northern dressing room. The visit came out with everything and Matías Cano was hesitant in the first minutes. However, the locals also wanted to show their thing and Palacios again scared Requena.
They were minutes of terror in the goals, since Cano showed off by covering a blow (53 ′) and Requena saw how his horizontal saved him before a great free kick from the recently entered Felipe Villagrán (59 ′).
It was what everyone expected, a round trip without rest. A meeting where despair was noted and talents appeared. As at 68 ′, when Marcelo Cañete showed that he can play in the blues and he put a millimeter pass to Juan Carlos Gaete, who once again made the albos suffer and defined crossed before the weak exit of Cano.
It was the opening of the account and the despair of Juan José Ribera, because he immediately called the birthday boy Mauricio Pinilla (37 years old) to try to change the fortunes of those born in the port. However, the former national team could not change the luck of the aurinegros. And the same ones that made us proud in the international arena, had a free fall in the six games they played in fifteen days (they only beat Unión Española, tied two and lost three).
So the Phantom of the B rounds through the Fourth Region, since Coquimbo was last with 31 units, two from Iquique and five from Cacique, just when all the teams already played their pending matches and now face the three on equal terms. latest dates.
A result that, although it is favorable for the whites, since they have already moved away from the decline in the annual table, is not positive in the weighted table, since the celestial dragons remain last in this classification, so the annual table and Colo Colo run the promotion would play with the University of Concepción. And all thanks to the goal of Cañete, a player who will wait until February 28 for Blanco y Negro to acquire 35% of his pass and can return to the Monumental.
