Squad

Cristóbal Castillo says O'Higgins went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Martín Castro is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at O'Higgins is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Fabián Hormazábal signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fabián Hormazábal commits to O'Higgins for another 3 years.

Match

O'Higgins get the job done against San Marcos de Arica

A 2-0 win over San Marcos de Arica, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Bastián Yáñez is carrying O'Higgins

4 goals and a season average of 7.29. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad

Nicolás Aedo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

O'Higgins see off Santiago Wanderers

Three points for O'Higgins, 2-1 the final word against Santiago Wanderers in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Omar Carabalí

“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.

Loan watch

Cristian Morales wants to come home

“I did not go to Audax Italiano to sit and watch. I want to come back to O'Higgins and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

Squad

Martín Sarrafiore is off the mark for O'Higgins

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

The shirt belongs to Fabián Hormazábal now

At 30 he has made the position his own, and the man he took it from has to find something to say about it. O'Higgins have a decision that made itself.

Squad

Juan Leiva unhappy with how he is being used

Asked to play a role that is not his, or taken off before the hour once too often — Juan Leiva has let it be known that he does not like the way O'Higgins are using him. Managers hear this long before the press does.

Market

Thiago Vecino asks to leave O'Higgins

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

O'Higgins lose Felipe Ogaz

134 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Benjamín Rojas

“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.

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Nicolás Garrido gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Martín Quezada out for 56 days

The medical room confirms 56 days on the sidelines for Martín Quezada, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
