Deportes La Serena and Cobresearch played out a 3-3 draw in the Primera División's Regular Season round 20 on Saturday evening. The result leaves both sides with familiar positions in the table, the hosts still sitting in tenth place while the visitors remain fifteenth.
Ángelo Henríquez opened the scoring in the sixth minute, a moment that set the tone for what followed. Cobresearch responded through Julián Brea in the twenty-ninth, and then the match unraveled. Christian Moreno turned the ball into his own net in the sixty-fourth, and Matías Marín restored La Serena's lead six minutes later. Franco Frías equalised for the visitors in the eightieth, and Rafael Delgado added another own goal in stoppage time.
There were five yellow cards between them, with Franco Bechtholdt, Felipe Chamorro, Christian Moreno, Benjamín Valenzuela and Bruno Gutiérrez all penalised. The substitutions came thick and fast in the closing stages — Fernando Dinamarca and Gonzalo Escalante came on together for La Serena in the sixty-ninth, while Steffan Pino, Janpol Morales and Victor Manuel Campos Mella followed in the seventy-sixth. Cobresearch brought on Benjamín Valenzuela in the seventieth.
La Serena controlled possession at 55 per cent and registered ten shots on target compared to the visitors' eight. They created four big chances to Cobresearch's one. The hosts won forty-two aerial duels, as did the visitors, and completed 405 passes against 329. Shots accuracy sat at 53 per cent for La Serena and 38 per cent for the away side.
The points keep both teams where they have been all season. La Serena move to 27 points from 21 games, while Cobresearch remain on 21 points after six wins, three draws and twelve defeats. The visitors' recent run of heavy defeats — including a 2-0 loss to Concepción on Wednesday — contrasts with the hosts' ability to salvage results.
