Unión Española became this Wednesday the new sub-leader of the National Championship, after defeating Cobresal 1-0 at home, in a match valid for date 16 of the tournament.

The “miner” box warned from the start with a shot just deflected by Marcelo Jorquera and then with a free kick by Marcelo Cañete that was stuck to Diego Sánchez’s post.

The Hispanics responded with another free kick from Cristian Palacios that was deflected by goalkeeper Requena, and with a tight shot from Carlos Palacios that ended up being a bit wide.

Plugin started, Misael Dávila (51 ′) scored the opening of the account at the mouth of the goal, after finishing a good team move that ended with an overflow of Luiz Pavez.

Gustavo Huerta’s team pressed in search of the tie, counting on an unbeatable chance at 73 minutes, wasted in an incredible way by Juan Carlos Gaete.

At 82 minutes, another good overflow to the left of the visiting attack found only Gaete at the far post, but the young winger again failed in front of goal.

In discounts, Sebastián Varas (94 ′) converted what seemed to be the draw, but finally everything was canceled due to an advance position.

Worked victory for Unión Española, which reaches 35 units in the table and is the new guard for Unión La Calera (36), after overcoming the line of Universidad Católica (33), which has two games less.

For its part, Cobresal paid dearly for the lack of clarity when defining the rival goal, stagnating in the tenth position of the tournament with 19 points.
