Maximiliano Guerrero runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Javier Altamirano stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Javier Altamirano and Universidad de Chile agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

A falling-out at Universidad de Chile
Charles Aránguiz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Universidad de Chile may not be able to give Fabián Hormazábal what he wants
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Fabián Hormazábal wants continental football; whether Universidad de Chile can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Kwara United watching Bianneider Tamayo
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Universidad de Chile have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Cristopher Toselli
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Cristopher Toselli, and the manager let it.

One of our own: Rodrigo Diaz joins the Universidad de Chile first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rodrigo Diaz is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Marcelo Castillo joins the Universidad de Chile first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marcelo 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
