Squad21 Dec 2026

A fracture rules Cristopher Toselli out for 90 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Universidad de Chile will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Octavio Rivero: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Universidad de Chile have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Israel Poblete 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 Universidad de Chile this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market21 Dec 2026

Universidad de Chile sell Diego Vargas for $37.0K

Diego Vargas has left for Universidad de Concepcion in a $37.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market21 Dec 2026

Audax Italiano are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Universidad de Chile will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad21 Dec 2026

When it matters, Lucas Assadi plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Cristopher Toselli breaks a bone — 123 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 123 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tempers go at Universidad de Chile

Charles Aránguiz 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.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Israel Poblete falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Nicolás Fernandez keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Universidad de Chile may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

The manager makes an example of Octavio Rivero

“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.

Maximiliano Guerrero runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match5 Sep 2026

6 unbeaten for Universidad de Chile

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Universidad de Chile did not have in the autumn.

The terraces7 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Lucas Assadi

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

“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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The month belongs to Juan Martín Lucero

The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Universidad de Chile have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Juan Martín Lucero

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Juan Martín Lucero has come out of that comparison in the side, and Universidad de Chile have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

The afternoon belonged to Lucas Assadi

7.04, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Universidad de Chile had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Match5 Sep 2026

Universidad de Chile draw a blank against Union La Calera

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Union La Calera defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.
