Monday, 20:00 - 22:00 hrs.

After the Fourth week of the National Round, there were positions switching on the Top-4 since they confronted eachother.

Results (All games on Saturday, Aprill 30):
12:00 Naval 1-2 Rangers
15:30 Lota 1-1 Curicó
17:00 Antofagasta 1-0 Concepción
18:30 San Luis 0-2 Copiapó
19:00 Puerto Montt 3-1 Arica
19:00 Everton 1-1 Magallanes
20:00 Coquimbo 0-1 U. Temuco

The Four leaders crushed Saturday:
*FIRST game of the day for National TV was Lone leader Rangers visiting Naval. Naval was on a long positive streak, but with poor performance in CAP Stadium: 1/3 of the points. Rangers managed to obtain a 1-2 win and that secured Rangers' TOP position no matter the other results.
*Antofagasta received Concepción (both with 17, Naval lost and stayed with that many). The only "North" team at the top beat Conce with just a 1-0. Coach Del Solar is in the hot seat for playing defensively and now for loosing points.

At the BOTTOM:
*Arica lost 3-1 in Puerto Montt, travelling the LONGEST distance for any Professional rivalry: 3000 km (2000 miles). Arica still shares last place with Lota.
*Lota Schwager, who was reached before this weekend by Arica, hosted Curicó, and tied 1-1. Bad result for both, Curicó still a win behind the top-third position, and Lota did not escape the tail.

In the middle:

*Coquimbo beat Unión Temuco at Bicentennial Sánchez Rumoroso. New coach Cantillana could not debut with a win, a chilché that is usually true.*Everton tied 1-1 versus Magallanes. Everton's new coach Fantasma Figueroa (a spooky figure) can not put them back on Primera B where they think belong to. Both teams have seen better campaigns in each's 100+ years of existence.
*San Luis lost at home against Copiapó. The Atacama team is now just under the middle of the table, away from direct relegation, but is still LAST and 20% average behind on the accumulated board for future relegation.
