Lautaro de Buin and CD Constitucion Unido Battle to 2-2 Draw in Chilean Tercera Thriller

Lautaro de Buin and CD Constitucion Unido played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Estadio Lautaro on 21 June 2026 in the Chilean Tercera. The result keeps both teams locked in the battle for promotion playoff spots, though each will feel they should have claimed maximum points.

Match Overview

The hosts started brightly and took the lead in the 12th minute. A flowing move down the right saw midfielder Diego Sepúlveda slide the ball across the six-yard box, where striker Matías Contreras tapped into an empty net. Constitucion Unido, however, responded with a well-organized pressing game and equalised just before the half-hour. A corner was only half-cleared, and defender Luis Vega hammered a first-time shot through a crowd of players.

The second half began with Constitucion Unido taking control. In the 58th minute, a swift counter-attack ended with winger Felipe Rojas cutting inside and firing a low shot inside the near post to make it 2-1. Lautaro de Buin pushed forward and were rewarded in the 79th minute. Substitute Álvaro Silva latched onto a long ball, shrugged off his marker, and finished calmly to secure a share of the spoils.

Key Moments

• 12’ – Lautaro lead: Contreras scores from close range after good build-up play.

• 79’ – Lautaro rescue a point: Silva’s composed finish from substitute appearance.

Standings Impact

The draw leaves Lautaro de Buin in sixth place, while Constitucion Unido remain in eighth, but both are within four points of the promotion playoff zone. With the Chilean Tercera season reaching its midpoint, every point is crucial. The attacking intensity on display bodes well for both teams’ ambitions, but defensive lapses remain a concern.

What’s Next

Lautaro de Buin will travel to league leaders Deportes Rengo next week, while CD Constitucion Unido face a home match against bottom-half side Unión Compañías. Both fixtures present opportunities to gain ground in the tightly contested promotion race.
