Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Coquimbo Unido defeated Universidad de Concepción 1-0 in a postponed round-16 match played without spectators.
  • Luis Riveros scored in the 84th minute, ending Coquimbo’s five-match winless run in the Primera División.
  • Coquimbo moved to eighth with 29 points, while Universidad de Concepción remained 14th with 22 points.

Luis Riveros ended Coquimbo Unido’s long wait for a league win with an 84th-minute header against Universidad de Concepción. His goal, from Cristián Zavala’s corner, secured a 1-0 victory in a postponed round-16 match.

The game took place in an empty Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso stadium after regional authorities imposed the sanction over noise bombs that had interrupted Coquimbo’s earlier match against Huachipato.

Coquimbo had gone five Primera División matches without a victory, a run stretching back to May. The team also had to respond to Elvis Hernández’s injury in the fourth minute. Nicolás Johansen came close in the second half, sending a header against the post in the 72nd minute.

The victory lifted Hernán Caputto’s side to 29 points and eighth place. Coquimbo will visit Universidad de Chile on Sept. 5. Universidad de Concepción stayed 14th with 22 points and will face Palestino on Sept. 6.
