–
It is still in the collective memory, that historical and agonizing triumph of Deportes Iberia over the local D. Puerto Montt, for the minimum account, a goal scored by Álvaro Torres and that in the end allowed him to snatch the crown from the southerners, so that the Barça will end up being crowned champion in Los Angeles, against Melipilla, achieving the desired promotion.
That Saturday, March 22, there was that feeling that something special would happen at the Chinquihue Bicentennial Stadium, not for nothing, about a thousand Barça fans gathered to arrive en masse in Puerto Montt.
The game was scheduled at 5:00 p.m. It was the penultimate date, salmon and Barça faced each other. The southerners had the first option to be titled Champion and with it ascend to First B, but history would tell otherwise.
The whole party was prepared for the salmon farmers to take the Olympic lap, accompanied by 9 thousand fans (more than 500 were from Los Angeles). The party was waiting to unleash the joy of the premises, however, the party would be taken by the Angelenos.
It was a first half where the local team anxiously sought to open the scoring early, despite this Iberia knew how to contain the salmon advances, also managing to position itself from control of the ball and generate several scoring chances. One of them, after a corner kick in favor of the azulgrana and after a series of rebounds in the local area, the magic leg of Álvaro Torres would appear on the penalty spot at minute 14 to inflate the nets of goalkeeper Sebastián Pérez. It was the goal that made the people of Los Angeles excited with the idea of taking the three points home and thereby defining their promotion in Los Angeles.
That annotation silenced all of Puerto Montt, from there it would be the salmon team that would have the urgency to reverse the score, but the pressure was conjugated against, showing more desire than football.
In the second fraction, it was the Puerto-Monontine superiority the protagonist of the best scoring chances, despite that, they were diminishing hand in hand. Iberia contained, but also generated opportunities to increase the score.
End of the meeting, and the party would move to the south elbow destined for visitors who, due to the songs and shouts, made themselves feel local in the cold afternoon-night in the Puertomontina.
So everything was defined on date 22, the last of the championship, where the new leader, Deportes Iberia, would receive Melipilla in the Los Angeles municipal. In turn, Puerto Montt should travel to San Antonio to face the purple box. Both duels would be played on Sunday, March 30 at 5:00 p.m. That would be another great story for Iberia.
