First Division. One team dominated the championship and won it in spectacular way.
San Luis – last with 14 points and relegated.
Rangers – 15th with 25 points and relegated.
Lota Schwager – 14th with 26 points. Twice unlucky – worse goal-difference forced to promotion/relegation play-offs against the second-placed teams in the Second Division and then worse goal-difference relegated them.
Deportes Concepcion – lucky 13th: equal points with Lota Schwager, but better goal-difference saved them. Actually, not even goal-difference, but more scored goals – they and Lota Schwager finished with -9, but Lota Schwager scored 24 goals and Deportes Concepcion 31.
Union Espanola – now, they survived on better goal-difference: 26 points too, but -5 goal-difference placed them 12th.
Deportes Iquique – 11th with 27 points.
Huachipato – the photo may be or may be not one from 1987, but they finished 10th for sure with 28 points.
Palestino – 9th with 29 points.
Fernandez Vial – 8th with 29 points.
Everton – 7th with 29 points.
Naval – 6th with 30 points.
Universidad de Chile – 5th with 31 points.
Cobresal – 4th with 34 points and young Ivan Zamorano getting noticed.
Cobreloa – 3rd with 38 points.
Colo-Colo – 2nd with 39 points.
Universidad Catolica – champions with 49 points.
What a season they had! 21 wins, 7 ties, and only twice left the field beaten. Scored 51 goals – the only team passing the 50-mark – and allowed only 16 in their net, almost 0.5 goals average and the only team which received less than 28 goals this season. Absolutely dominant. Won their 6th title.
The champions were rightly called ‘El Boom’ this season, but it would be well remembered for the next 10 years brought nothing.
