Until the curse broke. In this season of the Second Division, General Velásquez had not been able to add three points playing in his stronghold, but this time he did.
In a hard-fought match, the team led by César Bustamante defeated Provincial Ovalle 2-0 and managed to climb the category’s standings.
In the 53rd minute, Cristian Valenzuela, the Velasquinos’ scorer, opened the scoring, putting justice on the playing field. Of course, the home team got complicated in the 72nd minute with the expulsion of Juan Pablo Carrasco. But, minutes later (81′), the visitor was also left with one less player as Lautaro Velasco received the red card.
And, 5′ from the end, Velásquez sealed the match with a new goal from Valenzuela.
With this victory, the San Vicentanos reach 11 points in the table, the same score as Deportes Rengo and Real San Joaquín. Next Saturday, 12:30 p.m., they will visit Deportes Linares for matchday 8 of the national championship.
