Franco Cortés breaks a bone — 21 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 21 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” San Luis may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Player ratings14 Feb 2028
Age has not caught Facundo Juárez yet — 7.84
At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.84 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Up for the corner, and Diego Monreal delivers — 7.71
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Diego Monreal scored, was marked 7.71, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Joel Torres goes up and wins it — 7.08
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.08 for the rest of it.

Transfer targets14 Feb 2028
San Luis rebuffed over Nicolás Araya
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Deportes Concepción have kept their man, and San Luis go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
