RANCAGUA, Chile (Interstat) — CD O’Higgins opened its Primera División season with a 1-0 victory over Everton on Saturday at Estadio CODELCO-El Teniente.

The lone goal came from forward Francisco González, who also provided an assist in a standout performance. His effort defied pregame projections from Interstat, which gave Everton a 56.7 percent probability to win and forecast a 1-1 draw.

The match was a physical contest, with six yellow cards issued. Matías Lugo of O’Higgins received the first booking in the 37th minute. The result gives O’Higgins a winning start to the campaign, while Everton begins with a loss in league play.
