Provincial Osorno were left asking whether a goal had really gone in after an extraordinary refereeing decision in their 2-1 defeat to Brujas de Salamanca.

In the 51st minute, Osorno goalkeeper Daniel Retamal stopped a one-on-one chance, but the rebound remained alive in the six-yard box. The ball rolled almost along the line and bounced twice, apparently outside the scoring area, before Luciano Meneses cleared it.

Referee Camilo Riquelme nevertheless awarded the goal to Brujas striker Maximiliano Quinteros. A camera from Provincial Osorno behind the goal captured the incident, prompting the club to ask: “Goal for Brujas or a witch’s goal?”
