Deportes Antofagasta Primera B campaign
Entities: Rangers de Talca · Deportes Antofagasta · Deportes Iquique · Deportes Temuco · Deportes Puerto Montt
Overview
In early July, Deportes Antofagasta coach Luis Marcoleta discussed a possible signing of veteran midfielder Nelson Sepúlveda to bolster the squad for the second half of the Chilean Primera B season. No contract was confirmed, but Marcoleta praised Sepúlveda’s competitiveness and past role in Deportes Concepción’s promotion.
By late July, the club’s attention turned to logistics as the team prepared for an away game against Deportes Puerto Montt. Marcoleta described a demanding travel itinerary—flights from Antofagasta to Santiago and then to Puerto Montt—that would occupy most of a day, compounded by adverse weather and a synthetic pitch.
On 24 July, matchday 17 saw Deportes Puerto Montt defeat Antofagasta 3‑2. The loss left Antofagasta with fewer points and a lower league position, while Puerto Montt moved into the liguilla zone with 26 points, reshaping the promotion race in the second division.
