Chilean Primera B enters decisive final round amid legal uncertainty

The Chilean Primera B football league approaches its final matchday with San Luis and Cobreloa tied at the top of the standings with 54 points each. San Luis will face San Marcos de Arica, while Cobreloa hosts Deportes Puerto Montt. The outcome of these matches will determine if a team secures direct promotion, a title playoff, or a spot in the promotion playoffs.

Beyond the pitch, the final standings face potential disruption due to ongoing disciplinary proceedings within the ANFP. San Marcos de Arica and Deportes Puerto Montt are under investigation for various irregularities. While a recent tribunal ruling cleared San Marcos de Arica of accusations regarding false documentation, the club still faces separate financial irregularity claims. Depending on the resolution of these administrative cases, points could be deducted, potentially altering the promotion and relegation outcomes.
