Chile Wrap: Relegation battle continues

Mario Salas' Huachipato extended their unbeaten league run to six matches with a resounding 6-0 win over Union La Calera at the Estadio Municipal Nicolas Chahuan Nazar.

The run has lifted Huachipato, who had a dreadful Apertura campaign, clear of the relegation zone and into sixth in the Clausura.

Felipe Reynero netted a scrappy second before Jose Contreras' smart header looped over goalkeeper Juan Ojeda to make it 3-0.

Rangers' relegation was confirmed after a 2-0 loss to fellow strugglers Audax Italiano.

Clausura champions Colo Colo gave up two leads as they were held to a 2-2 draw by second-placed Universidad Catolica and O'Higgins were 3-1 winners at Union Espanola.
