Match

No end in sight to O'Higgins's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at O'Higgins has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Still nobody has beaten O'Higgins

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Market

Austin FC are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. O'Higgins will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Nicolás Garrido

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

O'Higgins draw a blank against Audax Italiano

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Audax Italiano defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Squad

Leandro Díaz knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at O'Higgins, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Benjamín Schamine gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

Honours even between O'Higgins and Antofagasta

1-1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Squad

Marcos Camarda is off the mark for O'Higgins

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

Felipe Ogaz out for 33 days

The medical room confirms 33 days on the sidelines for Felipe Ogaz, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

San Marcos de Arica expected to open talks for Rodrigo Godoy

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. O'Higgins will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Loan watch

Cristian Morales has seen enough of Audax Italiano

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at O'Higgins, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Match

The cup run ends for O'Higgins

0-1 against Universidad de Chile, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

O'Higgins turn down Universidad de Chile for Cristóbal Castillo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Martín Quezada’s move to Huachipato falls through

The deal that would have taken Martín Quezada to Huachipato has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to O'Higgins with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

Thiago Vecino moves on

Universidad Catolica pay $360.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market

Rodrigo Godoy attracts admirers

The name of Rodrigo Godoy has come up in conversations O'Higgins were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Omar Carabalí gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Felipe Ogaz out for 101 days

The medical room confirms 101 days on the sidelines for Felipe Ogaz, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Nicolás Garrido

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Still no signature from Thiago Vecino

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what O'Higgins could get for him.

Market

Thiago Vecino asks to leave O'Higgins

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

O'Higgins lose Felipe Ogaz

134 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Benjamín Rojas

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

O'Higgins march on in the cup

Colo-Colo are out and O'Higgins go through, 2-1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Benjamín Schamine

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Rodrigo Godoy stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Rodrigo Godoy and O'Higgins agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Bryan Rabello is off the mark for O'Higgins

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

The shirt belongs to Martín Sarrafiore now

At 29 he has made the position his own, and the man he took it from has to find something to say about it. O'Higgins have a decision that made itself.

Market

Ariel Córdova leaves O'Higgins for nothing

No fee, no negotiation, no argument: Ariel Córdova moves on to another club with his contract settled and the wage bill a little lighter.
