Deportes Recoleta let it slip despite Branco Provoste
Branco Provoste had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and San Luis were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

A one-man rearguard from Alvaro Salazar
There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The wait goes on for Deportes Recoleta
5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Carlos Ross 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 Deportes Recoleta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

6 unbeaten for Deportes Recoleta
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Deportes Recoleta did not have in the autumn.

A row about effort at Deportes Recoleta
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Germán Estigarribia was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Gonzalo Álvarez beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Ninety minutes of Branco Provoste at his very best
Marked 8.06. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Deportes Recoleta.

Germán Estigarribia was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.00. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
In brief
