Match report
Reconquista claimed a 4-2 victory over Rangers de Talca in Primera B's 20th round on Wednesday evening. The result moves the hosts further clear of the relegation zone while extending Rangers' struggles at the bottom of the table. It was a match decided in fragments — three goals in the first half, then a second wave that stretched the back line before the final whistle.
C. Gonzalez opened the scoring in the eighth minute, a prompt start that set the tone for what followed. Rangers responded with pressure of their own, and I. S. Mesias Gonzalez saw a penalty saved in the 25th minute — one mistake ends it when you're up against a keeper in full flow. Reconquista doubled their advantage through J. Arias in the 44th minute, just before half-time, and by then the hosts were comfortable in their own half.
The second half brought more urgency. G. Estigarribia netted in the 59th minute, and L. Rigazzi added a third for Reconquista in the 63rd, a goal that should have too much for them to chase back from. G. Alvarez made it four in the 80th minute, and Rangers pulled one back in the 90th minute with a late consolation that felt more like closure than a genuine threat.
Reconquista dominated possession at 52 per cent and registered 10 shots on target against six for their opponents. Both sides generated similar attacking numbers — 137 versus 138 attacks — but the home side found a way to convert. Rangers had more throw-ins and fewer corners, which tells you something about how the game was played: wide areas and set-pieces didn't break open.
The result leaves Reconquista in seventh place on 34 points from 23 games, while Rangers remain 16th with 18 points after 24 matches. The hosts came into this fixture having drawn their last two league games, and they finally turned it on with a performance that rewarded patience. Rangers, meanwhile, have hit a wall — four wins in 24 games is not enough to survive this long and expect to turn things around without a change.
