Everton in Chile Promoted

ruletero.toffee · May 22, 2016

Everton are back in the Chilean Primera division after a 3-2 aggregate win over Puerto Montt in the promotion play-off. Hector Tapia's men were able to see off the challenge of Puerto Montt after winning 3-1 in the first leg.

Puerto Montt took the lead on 81 minutes after being awarded a penalty for handball which Bibencio Servin dispatched past Everton keeper Gustavo Dalsasso. It was a nervy finish with the home side throwing everything at the Everton back-line in search of that elusive second goal.

The Ruleteros were able to stand firm though and see the game out finishing 1-0 the home side, but more importantly, 3-2 in Everton's favour over the two legs.

Congratulations Everton de Viña del Mar!

And they have Del's Mar in the name - what's not to like. Congrats - from memory they've been something of a yo-yo club recently, having won the league not so long back? Would love to get hold of a shirt one day.

...in the interest of good relations we should send them Niasse for a few years.

One of their fans had a Barkley shirt on during the celebrations.
