Match

O'Higgins are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 50 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad

Words exchanged at O'Higgins

Felipe Faúndez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Luis Pavez Muñoz signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Luis Pavez Muñoz and O'Higgins agree another 2 years.

Squad

Words at O'Higgins training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jonathan Espínola is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Segundo Pachamé

“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.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for José Movillo

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. José Movillo has come out of that comparison in the side, and O'Higgins have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

The dugout

Bastián Yáñez gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Bastián Yáñez is on it.

Market

O'Higgins and Segundo Pachamé are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

No place for Benjamín Rojas in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Benjamín Rojas has his answer from O'Higgins; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Player ratings

Ignacio Schor was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 32. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Player ratings

Both of them Bryan Rabello's — 8.01

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.01, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Tempers go at O'Higgins

Omar Carabalí was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Segundo Pachamé wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match

A bad afternoon for O'Higgins against Cobresal

2‑3 to Cobresal, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at O'Higgins training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Felipe Faúndez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

No hiding place for Miguel Brizuela

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

Squad

Benjamín Rojas reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout

Felipe Suazo faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Felipe Suazo after 2‑3, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

In brief
