Backing from Tano: Ortiz defended Maureira after his mistakes

Colo Colo earned a valuable 4-2 victory over Deportes La Serena, consolidating their place at the top of the Liga de Primera with 33 points. However, the win was overshadowed by the clear mistakes of young goalkeeper Gabriel Maureira, who gifted the opponent both of their goals due to poor decisions coming off his line.

The coach’s full backing​

Although television cameras captured the obvious frustration of head coach Fernando Ortiz on the bench during the game, the Argentine manager firmly ruled out any kind of targeting of the 18-year-old goalkeeper, who started in the absence of Fernando de Paul.

“I will never blame a player for a mistake. What makes me angry is the team’s overall performance in certain aspects. Gabriel has my support and that of his teammates,” the “Tano” said in an interview with TNT Sports.

Firm at the top​

With this strong public backing, Ortiz put to rest the criticism surrounding the academy product, one of the club’s biggest prospects. Meanwhile, the “Cacique” claimed their fifth straight win and are marching steadily toward title number 35.
