CD Copiapo S.A. and Puerto Montt played out a goalless draw in Chile’s Liga de Ascenso on 19 July 2026 at the Estadio Luis Valenzuela Hermosilla. The result was a fair reflection of a match dominated by midfield scrapping and defensive resilience.

Match Report

Both sides came into the fixture needing points for different reasons: Copiapo to push towards the playoff spots, Puerto Montt to move away from the relegation zone. Yet neither could find the net in a contest where clear chances were at a premium.

The first half saw Copiapo enjoy more possession, but they struggled to break through a stubborn Puerto Montt backline. The visitors’ goalkeeper Sebastián Gómez made a fine save in the 28th minute from a Copiapo free kick.

Second Half Struggle

The match opened up slightly after the interval. Puerto Montt created their best chance in the 67th minute when a counter-attack ended with Fabián Muñoz shooting wide from close range. Copiapo pushed for a winner in the final ten minutes, but a combination of wayward finishing and solid defending kept the scoreline blank.
