Antofagasta 1 – Ñublense 0: Visitors to Regional de Antofagasta leave with nothing

Antofagasta enjoyed a mesmerising home victory against Ñublense at Regional de Antofagasta on Sunday.

As the table looks today, Antofagasta are in 13th place, with 22 points from 23 matches, while Ñublense sit in 3rd, with 39 points from 23.

After a goalless first half, Antofagasta applied pressure in the second and were rewarded, with a goal from Tobias Figueroa in the 82nd minute, leaving the final score at 1-0.
