Comesiántes and Bentín Tacna Heróica Share Spoils in Segunda División
Comesiántes drew 2-2 with Bentín Tacna Heróica in the thirteenth round of the Segunda División on Saturday evening. The hosts, sitting second in the table, had to settle for a point against the league leaders who visited with momentum from four straight unbeaten outings. To be fair, neither side dominated the contest, and the evening ended with both clubs still within touching distance of each other at the top.
M. Lemos opened the scoring for Comesiántes in the fourteenth minute, giving the home crowd something to cheer about. Bentín responded before the break when F. Arevalo found the net on the hour of first-half action, and the visitors added a second goal in the first minute of stoppage time to take a 2-1 lead into the interval. By then, two yellow cards had been shown, one to each side, as tensions rose in the closing stages of that half.
Comesiántes dominated possession at 56 per cent and registered 28 attacks compared with 19 for the visitors, but the statistics tell only part of the story. The hosts managed three shots on target against Bentín's two, while offering up just one attempt off target. Bentín, despite having less of the ball, were second to nothing in front of goal — their efficiency meant they carried the advantage into the second half.
The draw leaves Comesiántes on 27 points from 17 games, closing the gap to one point behind Bentín, who remain top with 29 points from their 16 matches. For the hosts, it was a result that kept them in it, preserving their position as genuine challengers. Bentín, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten run and demonstrated that away form remains a strength for the leaders.
What stands out is not the possession figures but the moments that decided the game. Comesiántes worked hard to create chances, but Bentín's ability to capitalize when it mattered — especially before the break — showed why they occupy the summit. The second half brought neither side closer to victory, and the points were shared fairly.
