On matchday 25 of the Chile – Ascenso 2024 tournament, Antofagasta took the victory against Dep. Santa Cruz by 3-2 in a very disputed match.

Antofagasta and Mathías Pinto (33′ 1T) and Diego González (15′ 2T) for Dep. Santa Cruz. When it seemed that the game would end in a draw, Mauro Quiroga shot and tipped the balance in favor of Diego Reveco’s squad in the 23rd minute of the second half.

Luis Guerra earned applause with his brilliant finish two minutes into the second half. The striker scored, after a solo move on the right, with a tremendous shot from the edge of the area. Goalkeeper Juan García had no chance and the ball went in off the right post.
