The Magallanes supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Santiago Morning in Primera B and win 1-0. Before that, Magallanes played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Deportes Temuco.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of R. Pereyra Legallais when C. Soza scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.

Deportes Santa Cruz form and stats

The manager O. Hurtado Galleguillos was unhappy after their last game, a Primera B match played at their home ground Estadio Municipal de Santa Cruz. Deportes suffered a 1-3 loss to San Luis (placed 12th). Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Ñublense.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deportes as they have only managed to score 12 times from 13 away games in the league. Deportes's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips.
