April 25, 2026 – In a tense Liga de Primera encounter at Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida, Deportes Limache held Audax Italiano to a 2-2 draw, preserving their position at the top of the table. The match, however, was overshadowed by a serious injury to Audax midfielder Nicolás Aedo, who was stretchered off and transported by ambulance just minutes after entering the game.
Aedo, 25, came on in the 82nd minute but lasted only two minutes before collapsing in a challenge with Limache’s Flavio Moya. His right leg became caught in the synthetic turf, prompting immediate concern from teammates, opponents, and referee Piero Maza. Medical staff rushed onto the pitch, and Aedo was subsequently taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
Although Audax Italiano has not released an official medical update, preliminary reports suggest the injury could sideline the player for an extended period. The club has urged supporters to send messages of strength to the midfielder, who has become a key figure in their squad this season.
On the field, the game remained tightly contested. Limache, seeking to maintain their lead as the league’s sole leaders, responded after going behind, with Moya playing a central role despite later receiving a red card for his involvement in the incident with Aedo. The draw keeps Limache ahead in the standings, though their grip on the top spot remains under pressure as other teams close in.
The result adds to a growing list of challenges for Audax Italiano, who have faced multiple setbacks in recent weeks. For Limache, the point earned on the road reinforces their resilience, even as questions linger about their ability to sustain their lead through the season’s final stretch.
