Colo Colo's Copa Chile win fuels player and coach rebuke of referees

Colo Colo defeated O'Higgins 3‑2 in a Copa Chile match, with a dramatic late goal from 16‑year‑old Felipe Raipán sealing the victory. After the game, defender Joaquín Sosa cautioned that he could be sanctioned for commenting on teammate Javier Correa’s four‑match suspension, and he reiterated his wish to remain at Colo Colo while his loan from Bologna approaches its June 2027 deadline, noting a possible buy‑out clause near one million dollars. Coach Fernando Ortiz also entered the criticism, aligning with former coaches Fernando Gago and Daniel Garnero in denouncing the refereeing, alleging inappropriate behaviour and a lack of mutual respect on the field.
