Cobreloa defeats Rangers to leave club facing relegation battle

Cobreloa secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Rangers de Talca at the Estadio Bicentenario Iván Azócar Bernales, thanks to a 92nd-minute goal by Gustavo Gotti. The win provides significant momentum for Cobreloa in their pursuit of promotion to the Primera División, bringing them to 54 points and tying them at the top of the table with San Luis de Quillota.

For Rangers, the defeat leaves them in last place in the Ascenso league with 21 points. The club now faces a decisive final match against Deportes Santa Cruz, where they must win and hope for specific results from other matches, such as Unión San Felipe's performance, to avoid direct relegation or force a playoff for permanency.

The match was marked by high tension, with Gotti capitalizing on a defensive error in the final minutes of stoppage time. The loss has intensified the pressure on the Talca-based side following a period of poor form.
