RANCAGUA, Chile (Interstat) — Substitute Matías Palavecino scored two second-half goals in quick succession Sunday, lifting Coquimbo Unido to a 1-0 road victory over CD O’Higgins in the Chilean Primera División.

Palavecino struck twice in the 46th minute at Estadio CODELCO-El Teniente, capitalizing on assists from defenders Moisés González and Felipe Faúndez. The match was a physical affair, featuring 10 yellow cards and a late red card shown to O’Higgins’ Arnaldo Castillo in stoppage time. The result defied a pregame statistical projection that heavily favored Coquimbo Unido to win.
