In this harrowing encounter at the Copa Chile on 20 August 2023, CD Cobresal hosted CD Cobreloa Calama resulting in an engrossing match. However, CD Cobreloa emerged as the clear victor with a final scoreline of 3-1.

Cobreloa's dominance was defined by their efficient attacking, scoring three goals within the span of the match. The majority of their goals came post-half-time, with their first strike at 52:50 and a quick-follow up at 56:07, within the opening 7 minutes of the second half. Responding robustly, Cobresal put their only goal on the score board at the 66th minute, but Cobreloa sealed their victory with the third goal at the 96th minute. These quick-succession goals proved decisive in terms of putting pressure on the opposition and controlling the narrative of the game.

Despite the attentive defending, Cobresal conceded more goals due to their lack of control in their own half. However, they must be commended for earning 10 corner kicks, more than triple of what Cobreloa managed to procure. This indicates greater sustained pressure in the attack, despite not translating it into goals. Interestingly, in contrast, Cobreloa efficiently used their fewer corner opportunities to convert chances into goals, reflecting their clinical finishing.

The discipline of both teams wavering under pressure was evident with an equal share of 4 yellow cards each. In particular, Cobreloa saw a series of yellow cards in the last 15 minutes of the first half, indicating a pattern of reckless challenges as the game intensified. Cobresal also saw yellow in the last third of the second half, likely as a result of frustration or heightened tension.

However, this didn't seem to drastically impact Cobreloa's game, except they saw more fouls with a total of 10 infractions. This led to an unfortunate consequence in the form of a red card, their only disadvantage. It might be an aspect of their game worth paying attention to in future matches.

Singular offsides by Cobresal were another blemish, indicating their aggressive push forward that at times, might have been overzealous.

In conclusion, despite Cobresal's increased corner opportunities, the scrappy nature of the match and the looming sense of discipline concerns, Cobreloa's were able to maintain pressure and capitalise on goal opportunities to change the tide of the match in their favour. They proved to be more effective and clinical in their approach, which yielded this impressive victory. Future bettors might want to consider Cobreloa's striking efficiency and Cobresal's promising yet patchy attacking presence.
