Deportes Recoleta secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Deportes Copiapó at the Estadio Municipal de Recoleta "Leonel Sánchez." This win in the Liga de Ascenso's 22nd round brings the "textileros" closer to the coveted playoff spots.

Pedro Sánchez opened the scoring for Recoleta in the 30th minute, but Deportes Copiapó quickly responded with a goal from Salvador Sánchez in the 36th. Germán Estigarribia then sealed the win for Recoleta with his goal in the 55th minute.

The result propels the team coached by Francisco Arrué to ninth place in the standings, accumulating 30 points. They are level with San Marcos, but currently sit outside the playoff zone due to a less favorable goal difference. Deportes Copiapó, meanwhile, occupies tenth place with the same number of points.

Looking ahead, Deportes Recoleta will face Curicó Unido away on Sunday, August 30th, while Deportes Copiapó will host Antofagasta on the same day.
