Outstanding performance
Universidad Chile•AttackerUniversidad Chile dominated the underlying numbers throughout, racking up 61% possession, 19 shots and six big chances against a Coquimbo side that managed just 10 attempts, but the scoreline stayed frustratingly tight until deep into the second half. Eduardo Vargas finally broke the deadlock at 63' only for Benjamín Chandía, fresh off the bench, to level things up within minutes and give the visitors belief. A Gabriel Castellón own goal at 82' looked set to hand Coquimbo an unlikely lead in the context of the match, but substitute Juan Martín Lucero produced a stunning two-minute double in the 86th and 90th minutes to swing it back, before Octavio Rivero added gloss with a stoppage-time penalty. For Universidad Chile, sitting fifth and chasing the title race, this was a statement of resilience against the run of play; for Coquimbo, deep in the relegation battle, it's a case of a spirited fight ultimately undone by a ruthless finish from the home side's bench.
