Deportes Iquique beat Deportes Copiapó 4-0 in the Primera B Regular Season on 14 August 2026. The result lifted the hosts to 23 points from 23 games, while the visitors remained on 30 points after their ninth defeat of the campaign.
A. Venezia opened the scoring in the 39th minute before T. Jones struck twice in consecutive minutes, the first in the 51st and the second a minute later. C. Gonzalez added a fourth goal in the 77th minute, and I. Diaz pulled two late penalties for the visitors in the 90th and 90+1st minutes.
Copiapó started brightly with more attacks and corners, but Deportes Iquique were clinical when it mattered. T. Jones was substituted in the 64th minute, and Venezia came off in the 73rd, replaced by A. Ramos. B. Barrera and M. Filla also entered the fray for the hosts in the same window.
The away side had two yellow cards, both to players who were later substituted. F. Tabilo was taken off at the interval and C. Zamorano in the 86th minute. The hosts had no bookings all evening, and their discipline held up as the game wore on.
Stats showed a dead-even possession split at 50 per cent each, but the shot tally told a different story. Deportes Iquique registered eight shots on target against seven off target, while Copiapó managed only six on target from 17 attempts. The visitors were wasteful, and the hosts were not.
The win moved Deportes Iquique closer to the mid-table pack, while Copiapó's form remains touch and go. They had not won since their last successful outing, and this result did nothing to change that narrative.
