Español de Osorno books ticket to National League Apertura final

Español de Osorno has clinched a spot in the 2026 Liga Nacional Apertura final, becoming the first team to reach the championship game. The team secured the Southern Conference title by defeating Puerto Varas Basket 69-55 in a decisive fifth game.

The victory was powered by a strong performance from the trio of Barham Amor, Ja´Heim Hudson, and Jahsean Corbett, who led the team in points, rebounds, and assists, respectively. Their consistent dominance throughout the game ensured Osorno controlled the match from start to finish.

This marks a historic year for the "Diablos Rojos," as they have now reached their third final of 2026. Earlier in the year, they won the Super Copa LNB in March, also against Puerto Varas, and recently secured the runner-up position in the Copa Chile Temuco 2026. Their consistent success underscores a period of strong performance for the club.
