Deportes Antofagasta secured a narrow 2-1 victory over CD Cobreloa Calama in a tightly contested Copa Chile match. The home team showed greater efficiency in front of goal, with two of their seven shots on target finding the back of the net. CD Cobreloa Calama, although matching the home side’s total shots on target, could only capitalize on one occasion, highlighting Antofagasta's marginally better finishing ability.

Defensive discipline played a crucial role in the outcome. Cobreloa struggled with maintaining composure, as evidenced by the three yellow cards they received. This ill-discipline likely hindered their defensive solidity, particularly as their third yellow card was closely followed by Antofagasta's winning goal. Antofagasta, conversely, managed to control their fouls with fewer yellow cards, maintaining a less disrupted defensive structure.

Set-piece opportunities demonstrated contrasting strategies, with Antofagasta’s four corners yielding more pressure compared to Cobreloa’s two. The home side was also caught offside on six occasions, illustrating their aggressive approach and willingness to press high against the visitors. Although this led to an increased number of offside calls, it showcased Antofagasta's intent and ability to disrupt Cobreloa's backline—a factor that was crucial in the home side finding a late winner to clinch the match.
