Coquimbo Unido and Deportes La Serena finished level at 1-1 in the Liga de Primera after a tense second half that featured the only goals and two late red cards. La Serena struck first through F. Chamorro in the 66th minute with an assist from B. Gutierrez, but Coquimbo responded later in the half with an equalizer whose scorer was not available from match data.

First-Half Control Without Reward

The opening 45 minutes produced no goals despite Coquimbo’s clear set-piece pressure. The home side earned six corners in the first half while La Serena failed to register any. Yellow cards were shown early and often, with G. Escalante and B. Gutierrez booked for the visitors and J. Cornejo cautioned for Coquimbo. An additional yellow to F. Mac Allister kept the disciplinary count high before the interval.

Second-Half Goals and Chaos

La Serena broke the deadlock in the 66th minute when F. Chamorro converted the only goal credited with a named scorer. Coquimbo pushed forward and found an equalizer before the clock ran out. Tension boiled over in the 89th minute when both teams were reduced to ten men: M. Fernandez received a red card for the hosts and S. Diaz was dismissed for the visitors. Coquimbo added another six corners after the break, finishing with a 12-0 advantage in that category.

Standout Numbers and Takeaway
