Leones Quilpué edged past Colo-Colo 61-60 in the LNB on Wednesday evening, closing out a tight contest at the home floor. The visitors had already beaten the hosts 87-77 back in mid-July, and this time they kept it closer, winning by a single point.
Leones Quilpué came into the game on a five-match winning run, while Colo-Colo had lost four of their last five outings. By then the visitors had won three straight before this one, including that earlier meeting between the two sides.
The home side sits fifth with four wins from twelve games, while the visitors occupy third place with eight victories. Both teams have accumulated zero points in the standings, which suggests the table is still taking shape.
Colo-Colo's recent form has been mixed — they drew 96-84 against Puente-Alto but have struggled elsewhere. Leones Quilpué, meanwhile, kept knocking on the door in every fixture, consistently putting up numbers above eighty.
The result extends the visitors' streak and leaves Colo-Colo searching for consistency. Sixty-one to sixty is the kind of margin that keeps supporters talking until the next fixture.
