Rangers de Talca lose to Deportes Santa Cruz, ending 100‑year winless streak

Rangers de Talca were beaten 1‑0 by Deportes Santa Cruz, confirming the worst start to a season in the club's 100‑year history. The loss left Rangers without a victory after 15 matches in the first half of the 2026 Primera B campaign, with only three points from three draws.

The defeat sparked frustration among supporters, prompting police presence at the Estadio Fiscal. Ahead of the match, club officials had promoted a 2‑for‑1 ticket offer and increased stadium capacity to 10,000 to boost attendance. Coach Ivo Basay emphasized the need for a win to escape the bottom of the table and praised the anticipated fan support.

Rangers will face Santa Cruz again on 6 June, hoping the ticket promotion and larger crowd can help secure their first triumph of the season.
