Cobreloa made the most of home advantage to defeat San Marcos de Arica 2-0 and return to the top of Chile’s Ascenso League alongside Santiago Wanderers.
The first half at the Zorros del Desierto stadium produced little, with neither side able to impose its style. The teams went into halftime level and with uncertainty over how the match would develop.
Cobreloa changed the direction of the game after the break. In a coordinated move in the visitors’ half, Facundo Velazco met a low cross inside the six-yard box and fired into the near post in the 58th minute.
VAR then validated a penalty for Cobreloa in the 76th minute. Gustavo Gotti took responsibility and doubled the lead with a powerful shot. San Marcos finished the match with 10 men after Javier Ri was sent off late in the game.
