Arturo Vidal has provided a detailed analysis of Colo Colo's recent 5-2 loss against Coquimbo Unido in the Liga Primera. The veteran midfielder addressed several critical factors contributing to the defeat, including defensive errors and the condition of the playing field.

Vidal criticized the state of the pitch at the Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso Stadium, describing it as dry and poorly maintained.
