Universidad Catolica maintained their two-point advantage atop the Chile Primera Division as the tight battle at the top continued.

Felipe Flores’ 90th-minute goal gave Colo Colo their second consecutive league win and saw Cobreloa slip to fifth.

Union Espanola came from behind to beat Palestino 2-1 and Union La Calera were 2-0 victors at home to Everton.
