Saturday saw Cobresal pick up their first win of the season with a 2-1 win over Unión Española whose goalkeeper Eduardo Lobos opened the scoring from the penalty spot. The win sees Cobresal in fourth position on the table and they will need more wins like that if are going to pull themselves out of the relegation zone.
