Match

Full time on the season at Deportes Limache

Position 6 on 50 points. Every season is a story and this is the last line of it, and now the club has three months to decide what the next one is about.

Squad

Mauricio Sagal breaks a bone — 43 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 43 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Benjamin Isla asks to leave Deportes Limache

“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.

Match

Deportes Limache cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Augusto Aguirre 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 Limache this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

João Tilápia falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Bastián Silva is carrying Deportes Limache

11 goals and a season average of 7.28. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match

Martín Ramírez sends Deportes Limache past Union Espanola

It finished 1‑0, and it was Martín Ramírez’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Deportes Limache.

Player ratings

Benjamin Beausejour beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Pablo Sanchez

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Deportes Limache lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Mauricio Sagal breaks a bone — 64 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 64 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

A brace, and Sebastián Bianchi takes the afternoon — 8.72

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Sebastián Bianchi provided it, and the 8.72 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Benjamin Beausejour, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.74

A mark of 7.74 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.

The dugout

Juan Múgica says Deportes Limache 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Deportes Limache

Augusto Aguirre 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.

Match

Sebastián Bianchi sends Deportes Limache past San Marcos de Arica

It finished 3‑1, and it was Sebastián Bianchi’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Deportes Limache.

Squad

João Tilápia falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Benjamin Beausejour

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
