translated from Spanish: La Serena could not face an Italian Audax that re-enters the fight for the title as an escort of Colo Colo

Audax Italiano reaped this Thursday a valuable victory as a visit, after overcoming by 2-0 to Deportes La Serena, for the eighteenth date of the National Championship.The florida box reached this commitment with the opportunity to cut distances with the leaders of the tournament, which took advantage thanks to the good performance of Joaquín Montecinos.El conjunto verde generated the best options to open the account in the first part, but the “garnet” defense and goalkeeper Zacarías López prevented the opening of the account. In the complement, the audino cast maintained its supremacy, which was reflected in a penalty kick that Montecinos transformed into the 1-0 in the 77th minute. Already with the “papayeros” turned in search of the equalizer, the goalkeeper López made an inexplicable mistake when losing the ball outside the area, which allowed Montecinos (83′) to establish the definitive 2-0. In short, good victory for Audax Italiano, which reaches 31 points in the table and is placed third, only behind Unión La Calera (32) and the leader Colo Colo (34). For its part, Deportes La Serena felt the absence of Humberto Suazo, who left the team this week to return to Mexico, and with 21 units is in tenth place in the tournament. On the next date, the Floridians will receive O’Higgins on Monday, August 30, while the Serenenses will visit Curicó Unido on the same day…..
