Ñublense
Outstanding performance
La Serena•MidfielderÑublense looked to have grabbed control of the game when Ignacio Jeraldino put them ahead in the 41st minute, capping a spell of pressure that included efforts from Gonzalo Escalante and Robinson Rivera. But La Serena responded almost immediately, with Felipe Chamorro leveling just four minutes later right before the break to send the sides in level at 1-1. The hosts continued to press through a flurry of second-half substitutions and eventually got their reward when substitute Matías Pinto, on the pitch for barely two minutes, converted from a Gonzalo Escalante assist in the 88th minute to win it. La Serena's dominance in possession (55%) and shots (13 to 8) was reflected in the final result, though the match was marred by nine cards and a stoppage-time red for Lucas Alarcón for violent conduct.
