Ñublense and Deportes La Serena battled to a 2-2 tie on Sunday in a contest from the seventh matchday of the 2026 Primera Liga.

Juan José Ribera’s team secured just a single point in front of their home fans and lost a valuable chance to reach the top of the table, alongside Deportes Limache.

the ‘Diablos Rojos’ remain in second place in the standings with 12 points, two behind the league leader. The ‘papayeros’, meanwhile, are in the eighth position with 9 points.

The deadlock was broken in the 32nd minute at the ‘Nelson Oyarzún’ stadium, with Giovanny Avalos heading home a cross from the right, beating a stationary Federico Lanzillota.

The ‘granates’ from the north responded quickly, turning the game around with a strong start to the second half.

Lucas Alarcón equalized in the 54th minute with a stunning strike from almost 30 meters out, soaring past the outstretched hand of goalkeeper Nicola Pérez.

And shortly after, in the 57th minute, Felipe Gutiérrez’s squad took the lead. Jeisson Vargas made a brilliant move to acquire one-on-one with Pérez and finished with composure as the Chillán goalkeeper came off his line.

The home side pushed hard in the final stages, showing more grit than finesse, and their efforts were rewarded in the 88th minute through Franco Rami, who capitalized on a poor clearance from Lanzillota to find the back of the net.

In the eighth matchday of the Primera Liga, in early April, Ñublense will visit Everton and La Serena will travel to face La U.
