Outstanding performance
Concepcion•MidfielderConcepcion dominated the chance creation column with 17 shots and two big chances to Unión La Calera's none, and that pressure finally told when Ethan Espinoza struck in the 50th minute after a tenacious sequence involving his own earlier miss and a blocked Riquelme effort. For long stretches it looked like that would be enough, with Concepcion managing the game and La Calera struggling to turn their 53% possession and 55 dangerous attacks into clear openings. But the visitors kept probing, and their patience paid off in the most painful way for the hosts, with C. Díaz snatching a 90th-minute leveler to steal a point. The result keeps both sides mid-table and goalless on confidence heading into their next fixtures, with Concepcion left to rue a missed chance to close out a game they controlled statistically.
