Squad14 May 2029

A fracture rules Martín Sarrafiore out for 55 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Audax Italiano will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match14 May 2029

Audax Italiano refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 24 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

The dugout14 May 2029

Nicolás Rojas says Audax Italiano went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market14 May 2029

Audax Italiano may not be able to give Luciano Arriagada what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Luciano Arriagada wants continental football; whether Audax Italiano can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad14 May 2029

Tomás Ahumada in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Audax Italiano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 May 2029

A row about effort at Audax Italiano

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

Match12 May 2029

Kevin Serna the difference as Audax Italiano beat Ñublense

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Kevin Serna. 2‑1 against Ñublense, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings14 May 2029

A masterclass from Kevin Serna

Marked 8.18 — 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.

The dugout14 May 2029

No hiding place for Augusto Saravia

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

Squad16 Apr 2029

Martín Sarrafiore breaks a bone — 84 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 84 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match14 Apr 2029

Audax Italiano win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 92th minute. Santiago Wanderers will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Match16 Apr 2029

Audax Italiano up to position 3

19 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

The dugout16 Apr 2029

Gabriel Barrios says Audax Italiano went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match14 Apr 2029

Still nobody has beaten Audax Italiano

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad16 Apr 2029

Tomás Castro Ponce in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Audax Italiano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match14 Apr 2029

Audax Italiano find a way past Santiago Wanderers

Santiago Wanderers made Audax Italiano work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Looking ahead16 Apr 2029

Top-of-the-table clash for Audax Italiano

Huachipato next, and the two sides the division is watching meet each other. Whoever wins will be told nothing is decided in the same breath as being congratulated.

The dugout16 Apr 2029

The manager makes an example of Augusto Saravia

“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.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad9 Apr 2029

91 days out for Martín Sarrafiore after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Audax Italiano will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings9 Apr 2029

Both of them Marco Collao's — 8.10

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.10, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad9 Apr 2029

Tomás Ahumada stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match7 Apr 2029

Whatever happens, Audax Italiano do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad9 Apr 2029

Tempers go at Audax Italiano

Tomás Ahumada was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market9 Apr 2029

Ulises Ortegoza has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Audax Italiano can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Player ratings9 Apr 2029

Fernando Bersano beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad9 Apr 2029

A row about effort at Audax Italiano

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

Match7 Apr 2029

Audax Italiano get the job done against Colo-Colo

A 2‑1 win over Colo-Colo, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad19 Mar 2029

Manuel Vicuña damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match14 Mar 2029

Audax Italiano through in the cup

A 4‑1 win over Deportes Concepción, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad19 Mar 2029

67 days out for Joaquín González after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Audax Italiano will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match17 Mar 2029

Luciano Arriagada leads the rout of Cobresal

3‑0, and Luciano Arriagada took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Audax Italiano tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings19 Mar 2029

A brace, and Luciano Arriagada takes the afternoon — 8.77

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Luciano Arriagada provided it, and the 8.77 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings19 Mar 2029

Ramiro Jara, 21, steals the show — 9.47

Marked 9.47 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad19 Mar 2029

A day Ramiro Jara will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Market19 Mar 2029

Nicolás Juárez asks to leave Audax Italiano

“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.

Squad19 Mar 2029

Tomás Ahumada in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Audax Italiano this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
