Santa Cruz fell in agony in front of the leader of the B – 2024-04-24 01:24:57

Of not believing. When it seemed that Deportes Santa Cruz was returning to the Libertador region with a point in its pocket at the home of the Primera B leader, Deportes La Serena found itself with a ball hitting the small area in the last minute of the match and did not waste it . At the La Portada stadium, the team led by Hernán Peña lost 2-1.

Despite opening the scoring in the 10th minute thanks to a mid-range shot by Cristóbal Muñoz, the unionist team was perfectly able to stay with more than one unit, as at times they had chances and a shot hit the post to seal the match.

Of course, the maroons tied in the 17th minute through Lionel Altamirano, and from then on the match was intense, at times back and forth, but with both teams looking for victory.

Precisely, towards the end and in the last minute of added time, a corner kick led to the home owner’s goal. After the center, the ball hit Camilo Rencoret’s back and was served for Lautaro Rinaldi to beat Manuel García with a furious shot. Thus came the 2-1 and the defeat for Santa Cruz, which remained stagnant in the standings, occupying eighth place with 13 points, still in the qualifying zone for the league.

The next challenge will be on Saturday, at 3 p.m., when they host Deportes Antofagasta at the Joaquín Muñoz García stadium. (FOTO: Lautaro Carmona / Diario El Día).
