Outcome reported
- Santiago Wanderers defeated Deportes Iquique 1-0 at the start of the 24th round of Chile’s Ascenso league.
- Joaquín Silva scored in the 25th minute, and Wanderers held on despite Iquique’s late pressure and a stoppage-time penalty.
Santiago Wanderers held on to the top of the Ascenso table with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Deportes Iquique, extending their stay at the summit for another week.
Joaquín Silva opened the scoring in the 25th minute, finishing sharply as goalkeeper Daniel Castillo came off his line. Defender Felipe Espinoza tried to clear the ball on the goal line, but his effort could not prevent the breakthrough.
The goal came from a rehearsed move. Silva read Cristóbal Ponce’s through ball well, giving the home side the lead at Quillota’s Lucio Fariña Stadium.
Iquique, known as the “Celeste Dragons,” pushed hard for an equalizer on the artificial surface. Wanderers protected their advantage, although their supporters faced a late scare when a penalty was awarded to Iquique in the 90th minute.
