The Pumas are intent on exacting revenge against the Miners after a Copa Chile exit, and both teams now push to maintain a foothold in the competition zone.
The Calvo y Bascuñán stadium will host this clash, a stage where Sports Antofagasta and Copper loawho will face off next Sunday the 9th, a fixture that forms part of the seventeenth date of the 2023 Promotion Championship.
The Puma squad enters the match with a clear mandate to close the gap and avoid slipping from the upper positions. In the most recent round, they suffered a 2-3 defeat to Deportes Iquique in Zorros del Desierto, marking two consecutive matches without securing a win. Yet they remain in the league’s upper tier with 26 points. Los Loínos, meanwhile, were defeated by San Marcos de Arica at Carlos Dittborn, and they are determined to bounce back to stay near the summit of the standings.
It is worth recalling that these two clubs previously met on June 25 in the quarterfinals of the North Zone in the Chile Cup, where the miners advanced thanks to goals from Cristián Insaurralde and Gustavo Gotti. Emiliano Astorga’s side now eyes a spot in the regional semifinals, where they will clash with Morro’s Bravos. Of note, the April 2 encounter ended in a decisive 1-4 result in favor of the Albicelestes, underscoring the competitive stakes of the series.
