Deportes Puerto Montt

Match report

Deportes Puerto Montt beat Curico Unido 2:0 in the Primera B regular season on Saturday evening. The hosts played the full ninety minutes at home before the match ended. Curico Unido came away with nothing despite pushing for an equaliser.

S. Perez opened the scoring in the sixty-ninth minute. It was the first real chance of the game to fall their way. Curico Unido had sat deep and soaked it up up to that point, but Perez found a way back into it. The stadium fell silent after the goal, and the visitors knew they had work to do.

J. Retamales was sent off in the sixty-seventh minute, two minutes before the goal. That changed everything, and by then the hosts were clearly in control of the tie. J. Flores added a second in the ninety-sixth minute to seal it. The visitors were out of sight by then, with substitutions bringing fresh legs but no result.

Both teams held fifty per cent possession, but the shots told a different story. Puerto Montt registered four shots on target against one, while Curico Unido managed just five off target. Many shots with one goal would have been worrying for the visitors, but they never carved them open. The red card meant they were always chasing the game.

The result leaves Puerto Montt eighth on twenty-three points after twenty-four games. Curico Unido sit fourteenth on twenty-one points, having lost their fifth match in a row. The gap in the table grows, and the hosts keep their heads in the fight for the top half.
