Rangers have turned a difficult season into a growing fight for survival. Their 1-0 win over Deportes Temuco before 10,000 fans at Talca’s Fiscal Stadium gave the last-placed side a third consecutive victory.

Lautaro Rigazzi supplied the decisive moment, heading home in the 15th minute. The goal was enough for Rangers to claim another three points and reach 15 in the Ascenso standings.

The result leaves Rangers two points behind Deportes Santa Cruz, who are due to play Unión Española on Saturday. The club coached by Ivo Basay remains at the bottom, but its recent run has brought the prospect of avoiding relegation back into view.

Temuco, meanwhile, stayed in 11th place on 28 points. Rangers will visit Puerto Montt in the next round, while Temuco will face Santiago Wanderers.
