The Universidad de Chile Gazette
Squad15 Feb 2027
Agustín Arce breaks a bone — 18 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 18 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Player ratings15 Feb 2027
Both of them Juan Martín Lucero's — 9.00
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.00, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
The dugout15 Feb 2027
Tobías Reinhart: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Universidad de Chile have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Squad15 Feb 2027
Israel Poblete 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 Universidad de Chile this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom15 Feb 2027
Graduation day at Universidad de Chile
3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Match13 Feb 2027
Universidad de Chile see off Antofagasta
Three points for Universidad de Chile, 2‑1 the final word against Antofagasta in a contest settled by the finer margins.
The terraces15 Feb 2027
One of their own: Bianneider Tamayo
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Market15 Feb 2027
Universidad de Chile promote Carlos Mena from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Carlos Mena has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
Market15 Feb 2027
One of our own: Felipe Isla joins the Universidad de Chile first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Felipe Isla is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Universidad de Chile promote Benjamin Isla from within
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Gonzalo Reyna
- Squad 7 new faces, and Universidad de Chile are still learning each other
