Cobreloa stays top of Chile's Primera B as 16‑year‑old debutant shines

Cobreloa recorded a 2‑0 victory over Rangers, maintaining its lead in Chile's Primera B with 28 points after 14 matches. The win featured a late appearance by 16‑year‑old forward Camilo Orellana, who replaced Facundo Velazco in the final ten minutes and said debuting before 17 was a lifelong dream.

Ahead of the upcoming fixture against Puerto Montt, the club will miss centre‑forward Gustavo Gotti, who received his fifth yellow card and is suspended for the match. There is also a risk that midfielder Jorge Paul Gatica will sit out due to a reported thigh injury. Cobreloa hopes to extend its advantage at the top of the table despite these absences.
