Ivo Basay and Rangers' relief after beating Arica: 'We took a weight off our shoulders'

Rangers de Talca achieved a crucial and historic 2-1 away victory against San Marcos de Arica on Friday, marking a significant turning point in their Liga de Ascenso campaign. This win, secured at the Estadio "Carlos Dittborn," represents the team's first triumph of the season, offering a much-needed boost after a challenging period.

Despite the victory, Rangers de Talca continues to occupy the last position in the league table. However, the acquisition of three points has revitalized the squad's aspirations and renewed their determination in the fight to avoid relegation. The win provides a glimmer of hope as they navigate the remainder of the season.

Following the match, the head coach of the "rojinegro" squad, Ivo Basay, emphasized the importance of the result and the psychological uplift it provided to the players. "We have removed a tremendous weight from our shoulders after a long time without winning, especially in a very difficult away ground," Basay stated. "It serves to keep us believing in what we are doing."

With this newfound momentum and improved morale, Rangers will aim to build on this performance. Their next challenge is an away match against Unión Española on Saturday, August 29th, at the Estadio Santa Laura. The team hopes to demonstrate consistency and continue their climb in the standings.
