Everton secured a 1-0 victory over Deportes Limache in a Copa de La Liga match that held little consequence for the group standings. The game, played at the Estadio "Lucio Fariรฑa Fernรกndez" in Quillota, was the sixth and final fixture in Group C. O'Higgins had already clinched the sole semifinal spot from the group before this match, leading both Everton and Limache to field mixed squads with several reserve players.

Despite the low stakes, the match saw a few notable moments. Everton came close to scoring in the 31st minute when Daniel Castro's shot was cleared off the line by the defense. Later, in the second half, Joaquรญn Montecinos missed a clear chance for Everton. A significant event occurred in the 78th minute when 15-year-old Franco Oyarzรบn made his professional debut for Deportes Limache.

The decisive goal arrived in the 83rd minute. Following a free-kick that the Limache defense failed to clear, Everton's Alan Medina seized the rebound. He struck a precise right-footed shot across the goal, leaving goalkeeper Claudio Gonzรกlez with no chance and sealing the 1-0 win for Everton.

With this result, Everton concluded their Copa de La Liga campaign with 7 points, while Deportes Limache finished with 6 points. Both teams will now shift their focus back to the Liga de Primera. In their upcoming league matches, Deportes Limache will visit Deportes Concepciรณn on Sunday, June 14, and Everton will host Palestino on Saturday, June 13.
