The Colo-Colo Chronicle
Match11 Aug 2029
Colo-Colo make home a hard place to visit
19 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.
Match11 Aug 2029
Colo-Colo run riot against Huachipato
4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

30 days out for Rodrigo Ureña after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Colo-Colo will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Lucas Rodríguez hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Colo-Colo can pretend not to have heard.
Player ratings13 Aug 2029
Both of them Johan Martínez's — 9.31
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.31, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Only the photograph left for Jeyson Rojas
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jeyson Rojas will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colo-Colo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Colo-Colo to lose Cristhofer Mesías for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Cristhofer Mesías has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.
Market13 Aug 2029
Persis come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Colo-Colo did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Squad13 Aug 2029
Words exchanged at Colo-Colo
Matías Fernández and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
In brief
- Squad Tomás Alarcón falls out with a teammate over standards
- Market Guillermo Osorio steps up from the Colo-Colo academy
- Match Luis Castillo at the heart of a fast Colo-Colo start
