Match report

Cobreloa defeated Palestino 2-0 in the Primera División at El Cobre on Thursday evening. The hosts took an early lead through Janpol Morales before Renato Huerta added a late second. Palestino controlled possession but could not break through despite creating more chances than their opponents. Morales opened the scoring in the 17th minute before the break. Palestino responded with pressure but Cobreloa held firm until the half. Morales picked up a yellow card on 45 minutes, then a second and red on 67. By then Palestino had pushed forward but found the home defence resolute. The statistics tell a familiar story. Palestino dominated possession at 74 per cent and launched 143 attacks compared with 58 for Cobreloa. Yet they created no big chances while shooting 15 times without finding the net. Cobreloa managed just one big chance from 10 shots. Cobreloa remain 15th with 21 points after 21 games. Palestino move up to fifth with 33 points, though the result does little to close the gap on the leaders. The visitors have now lost three of their last five matches while Cobreloa showed character after going down to ten men. The match ended with Huerta slotting home in stoppage time. Palestino had thrown everything at the home goal but found clearances and blocks at every turn. Cobreloa's goalkeeper made four saves while his counterpart managed three. It was a result built on efficiency rather than dominance.
