A match meant to mark Coquimbo Unido’s 68th anniversary was suspended after noise bombs exploded near Huachipato goalkeeper Christian Bravo.
The first half produced few clear chances. Huachipato broke the deadlock in the 65th minute when Sergio Núñez took advantage of a mistake by Elvis Hernández and finished into an unguarded net.
A few minutes later, at around the 68th minute, noise bombs detonated near Bravo. The goalkeeper received treatment on the field before being taken away by ambulance. The incident left the match halted as Coquimbo Unido and Huachipato fought for very different objectives, with the home side seeking an anniversary celebration and Jaime García’s team trying to gain points and move clear of the lower part of the table.
