Player ratings

Ignacio Schor beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 36. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Bryan Rabello 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 O'Higgins can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Walter Bou 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 O'Higgins this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Universidad de Chile take the points off O'Higgins

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

A row about effort at O'Higgins

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Hans Salinas was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

No hiding place for Martín Sarrafiore

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Martín Sarrafiore, and the manager let it.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at O'Higgins

15 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Cristian Valencia faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Cristian Valencia after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

Miguel Brizuela has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at O'Higgins will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief
