Matías Coronado has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Santiago Morning they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

A row about effort at Santiago Morning
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Benjamín Chandía was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The manager makes an example of Diego Aravena
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Santiago Morning pick somebody else ahead of Jonathan Salvador
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Nobody on the pitch touched Felipe Fritz
7.09, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Santiago Morning had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Erick Castillo was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Santiago Morning dressing room was either.

Diego Aravena left out for tactical reasons at Santiago Morning
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Luis Riveros runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
