Audax Italiano and La Calera draw, remaining stuck in league's lower reaches

Audax Italiano and Unión La Calera kicked off the 20th round of the Liga de Primera with a lackluster 0-0 draw at the Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida. The result leaves both teams mired in the lower reaches of the league table, failing to gain significant ground.

The match featured periods of possession for both sides but lacked decisive attacking penetration. The second half saw a slight increase in offensive attempts from Unión La Calera, also known as the "cementeros." However, the most significant scoring chance came in the dying moments of the game when Audax Italiano's Diego Coelho missed a golden opportunity to secure a victory, heading a ball wide while unmarked in the 90+6th minute.

With this draw, Audax Italiano, nicknamed the "Tanos," extended their winless streak to three consecutive matches. They currently occupy 13th place in the standings with 22 points. Meanwhile, Martín Cicotello's squad, Unión La Calera, is in a deeper crisis, having gone 10 league games without a win. They remain at the bottom of the table with 14 points.

Looking ahead, Audax Italiano is scheduled to visit Colo Colo on Saturday, August 30, at 5:30 p.m. local time. Unión La Calera will host Deportes La Serena the following day, Sunday, August 31, at 6:15 p.m. local time.
