Midfielder Martín Sarrafiore was in charge of scoring a brace in O’Higgins’ 3-1 victory over D. Iquique on matchday 21. Showing his lethality in the area, Martín Sarrafiore left his mark on the final result by scoring two goals from play during the 42nd and 2nd minutes of the first and second half, respectively. In addition, O’Higgins’ 3-1 was possible with a shot by Esteban Calderón (48′ 2H). For Deportes Iquique, only Miguel Sanhueza was able to score, in the 9th minute of the second half, after a header.

A great play by D. Iquique, 9 minutes into the second half, was what moved the score thanks to Miguel Sanhueza. The defender rose at the edge of the area and headed past the goalkeeper, after receiving a pass from Enzo Hoyos. The ball went in off the left post.

Deportes Iquique striker Edson Puch had a chance to tie the game, but the post denied him in the 77th minute of the second half.

Despite Deportes Iquique having the advantage in shots (19 to 8), it was not enough and they lost to O’Higgins. Of the total shots, 7 were on target, 1 was deflected off the post and 10 ended up out.
