South Zone.
Union Santa Cruz – last with 20 points and relegated.
Deportes Laja – unfortunate 13th with 21 points: relegated on worse goal-difference.
Magallanes – 12th with 21 points. Survived on better goal-difference.
General Velasquez – 11th with 23 points.
Deportes Linares – 10th with 24 points.
Provincial Osorno – 9th with 24 points.
Malleco Unido – 8th with 25 points.
Nublense – 7th with 26 points.
Iberia Biobio – 6th with 28 points.
Deportes Puerto Montt – 5th with 29 points.
Curico Unido – 4th with 29 points.
Deportes Temuco – 3rd with 30 points.
O’Higgins – 2nd with 32 points and going to promotion/relegation play-offs.
Deportes Valdivia – champions of the South Zone with 35 points from 11 wins, 13 ties, 2 lost games, and 30-15 goal-difference. Great success for the club – First Division was just a dream for them so far, but now they were going to rub shoulders with the best.
Promotion/relegation tournament after the regular season between the second-placed teams in the Second Division Zones and the 14th in the First Division: O’Higgins, Regional Atacama, and Lota Schwager. Regional Atacama lost both games and ended last with 0 points. Goal-difference decided the winners: O’Higgins and Lota Schwager won their matches against Regional Atacama and tied the game against each other, but the final table shows discrepancy, suggesting that may be something else was counted: O’Higgins finished with 3-1 goal-difference and Lota Schwager with 1-2 goal-difference. Such numbers are impossible given the record of win and tie. The goal records simply make no sense, for Regional Atacama ended with 0-3. But it was goal-difference counted at the end and according to it, impossible or not, O’Higgins came on top.
O’Higgins happily promoted to First Division. No matter the controversy, it was happy moment for them – return to First Division!
