Real Juventud San Joaquin 1–2 CD Trasandino de Los Andes
CHI Segunda División – Matchday 15 | July 6, 2026

CD Trasandino de Los Andes staged a resilient second‑half comeback to claim a vital 2‑1 away victory over Real Juventud San Joaquin at the Estadio Municipal de San Joaquin. The result keeps Trasandino firmly in the promotion race, while the home side slipped closer to the relegation zone.

Match Overview

The opening 45 minutes belonged to Real Juventud, who pressed high and forced Trasandino into several errors. The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute when winger Matías Guerrero cut inside from the left and curled a precise shot past the keeper. The goal energized the home crowd, and Juventud continued to create chances, but could not add a second before the break.

Trasandino emerged with renewed purpose after halftime. Manager Pablo Muñoz switched to a more direct 4‑4‑2, and it paid dividends almost immediately. In the 51st minute, a long ball over the top found striker Luis Araya, who held off his marker and slotted home the equalizer. The goal visibly deflated Juventud, and Trasandino seized control of the midfield.

Key Moments

• 23' – Goal Real Juventud: Guerrero’s solo effort gave the home side a deserved lead.
• 51' – Equalizer: Araya capitalized on a defensive lapse to restore parity.
• 73' – Winning goal: A corner kick was flicked on by central defender Diego Rojas, and the ball fell to Joaquín Peña, who smashed it into the roof of the net from close range.
• 81' – Red card: Juventud’s Francisco Rivas received a second yellow for a reckless tackle, leaving his team a man down for the final minutes.

Tactical Battle

Real Juventud’s high‑press worked well in the first half but left them vulnerable to counter‑attacks. Trasandino exploited the space in behind the full‑backs after the break, using quick diagonal passes to switch play. The visitors’ physicality in midfield also proved decisive, as they won most second‑ball duels and disrupted Juventud’s rhythm.

Standout Performances

• Luis Araya (Trasandino): The striker was a constant threat, scoring the equalizer and winning several aerial battles.
• Joaquín Peña (Trasandino): His late goal sealed the win and showcased his composure under pressure.
• Matías Guerrero (Juventud): Despite the loss, Guerrero’s first‑half goal and overall dribbling were bright spots for the home side.

Impact on the Standings

The victory lifts Trasandino to fourth place in the Segunda División, just three points behind the promotion playoff spots. Real Juventud, meanwhile, remain in 13th position, now only two points above the relegation zone. With the second half of the season approaching, both teams will look to build on this result – Trasandino aiming for a top‑three finish, and Juventud fighting to avoid the drop.
