Nicolás Temperini damages knee ligaments — 37 days out

Iñaki Larthirigoyen puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Ñublense, and it is not being withdrawn.

Iñaki Larthirigoyen scores twice — 8.66

Alejandro Azócar in the eights
A performance of 8.23 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
