The terraces

Supporters organise against the Union Espanola board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad

A falling-out at Union Espanola

Pablo Aránguiz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at Union Espanola training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bruno Jáuregui is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

A step back for Martín Parra at Union Espanola

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

The dugout

Bruno Jáuregui 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 Union Espanola, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Union Espanola have started building around Leandro Brey

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

From our football correspondent Steady

Player ratings

Franco Ratotti, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.64

A mark of 7.64 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

4 matches without a win for Union Espanola

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Union Espanola are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A row about effort at Union Espanola

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Pablo Aránguiz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Words exchanged at Union Espanola

Lucas Molina and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

No hiding place for Martín Parra

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Martín Parra, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Ulises Ojeda

Marked 8.03 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match

Union Espanola share the spoils with Union La Calera

A 2‑2 draw with Union La Calera leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout

Benjamin Suazo on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Benjamin Suazo after the 2‑2 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout

No place in the plan for Patricio Rubio

The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
