Union San Felipe secured a 1-0 victory away against San Marcos de Arica in the Regular Season-20 fixture of Primera B on 13 August 2026. The result leaves the visitors three points behind their hosts in the standings, with San Marcos sitting ninth on 33 points and Union San Felipe thirteenth on 22.
L. Garcia was the match-winner for the visitors, finding the net in the 70th and 71st minutes according to the event log. And here's the thing — despite two goals being recorded in quick succession, the official result shows only one for Union San Felipe, which makes for an odd summary of the evening.
San Marcos had the better of the disciplinary issues, with J. Rivera collecting two yellow cards within a minute of each other at 18 and 19 minutes. A. Cazula picked up a second booking later on at 83 minutes. The visitors kept their discipline clean throughout.
The statistics paint a peculiar picture. Both sides recorded zero attacks, zero corners, and zero shots on target throughout the entire match. Possession was split 50-50 between the two teams, and neither managed to generate a single corner or shot. To be fair, cup football has its own rhythm, though this was league action.
San Marcos have won eight of their 23 games this season, drawing nine and losing six. Union San Felipe's record is less encouraging — five wins, seven draws, and 11 defeats. The visitors ended a run of two consecutive losses, having lost 0-1 to Universidad de Chile and 1-5 to Antofagasta in their previous outings.
Both teams made multiple substitutions across the match, with San Marcos bringing on B. Riveros, E. Benavides, C. Suarez, M. Iturra, and B. Aravena at various stages. Union San Felipe introduced P. Munoz, B. Sagredo, and B. Gonzalez into the fray. By then, the result was already decided.
