Rangers of Talca confront relegation after historic low performance

The Chilean football club Rangers, based in Talca, has recorded just three points from fifteen matches in the first half of the Primera B season, a 6.6% effectiveness that makes it the lowest‑performing professional side across South America. The team has endured twelve defeats and three draws, with no victories, placing it at the bottom of the table and threatening its first‑ever fall to the Segunda División.

Adding to the club's woes, defender José Navarrete was sentenced by the La Serena Court of Guarantees to 541 days of minor imprisonment and a monthly fine for vehicle theft and using a falsified licence plate. The conviction follows fan criticism after a recent loss. Rangers will next compete in the Copa Chile, facing Universidad de Concepción on June 20 and Ñublense the following week.
