Pedro Kauã is a Deportes Temuco player again

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Gonzalo Castillo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Squad 11 new faces, and Deportes Temuco are still learning each other
