Arturo Vidal slams referee after red card in Colo Colo 👀
Colo Colo did not have a good day this Sunday in their visit to Audax Italiano at the Bicentenario de La Florida. The team of Jorge Almirón fell 2-1 in a match with a heated ending, although things seemed to be going better just a few minutes before, when they had tied through Francisco Marchant, who scored his first goal with the Cacique jersey. But Audax regained the lead with a goal from Leonardo Valencia, and minutes later Arturo Vidal was sent off. Advertisement The unusual thing was the way the 'King' saw the red card, after receiving a second yellow card for protesting the first one. Vidal started a strong discussion with referee Fernando Vejar and left the field in a state of confusion. Arturo Vidal will miss the next game for the Whites, which will be the classic against Universidad Católica, in the pending match of the 5th round of the 2025 First Division. If he doesn't receive more than one game, he will be available again for the other classic, against Universidad de Chile, in the other postponed match, of the 7th round. Vidal spoke to the media after the match and placed the blame for what happened on the referee, whom he criticized for his reaction and lack of character. Advertisement "If a referee doesn't have the character to referee a Colo Colo match, I think he shouldn't referee. In second or third division he could, if he doesn't like the pressure. If he can't handle a high-level player, or a captain who tells him things, and he gives him a yellow card for that, I think it's crazy. Hopefully, in the next matches, we'll get better referees".

❌ Colo Colo turn down Pachuca bid: Arturo Vidal stays put
Taking advantage of the opportunity provided by their participation in the resounding 2025 Club World Cup, which begins next weekend, Club Pachuca aimed to make a splash in the market. The Tuzos made an offer for Arturo Vidal, the experienced Chilean midfielder, who after his remarkable European career returned in 2024 to Colo Colo, the club where he began his professional football career, in order to start closing the circle of his career. Advertisement And for now, it seems that will be the case, because Colo Colo rejected Pachuca's offer. The 'King' stays with the Cacique According to César Luis Merlo, Pachuca wanted to have Vidal exclusively for the Club World Cup, in which they will participate in group H, with rivals such as Al Hilal, Real Madrid, and RB Salzburg. The Mexican club might have wanted to tempt the Chilean, familiar with opponents of such caliber, but undoubtedly it would be a problem for Colo Colo in sporting terms, as they would be left without their main leader and captain, during a crisis moment for a team that, despite rumors and upheavals, remains ultimately under the command of Jorge Almirón, and has ahead the pursuit of the league title.

📝 Arturo Vidal scores from the spot as Colo Colo see off La Calera
📝 Arturo Vidal scores from the spot as Colo Colo see off La Calera It was a discreet game that Colo Colo played at the Estadio Municipal Nicolás Chahuán Nazar, but it was enough to add a new victory in the Liga de Primera 2025. The team of Jorge Almirón, who was not on the sidelines due to a sanction, had to resist in the first minutes, when Unión La Calera seemed more determined to have the ball and attack. The first half hour of play was intense and disputed, but without great chances in the goals. Colo Colo defeated La Calera by the minimum Without being able to practically shoot at the rival goal throughout the first half, near the end of that first half Lucas Cepeda fell in the rival area, and after verifying the foul in the VAR, the referee awarded the penalty to Cacique. Advertisement Their captain, Arturo Vidal, took care of the execution and gave the advantage to Colo Colo, which would be definitive. With this victory, Colo Colo reached 17 points in 10 games played, to climb to ninth place in the table, and remain 9 points away from the leaders, Coquimbo Unido and Audax Italiano. The Whites still have three pending games (against Iquique, corresponding to the 8th date, and the classics against U de Chile and Universidad Católica), so virtually, in case of winning them, they would be reaching the top of the table. The duel against the Cementeros also left a bad news for Colo Colo and for Jorge Almirón: the concern about the possible injury of Sebastián Vegas. Advertisement The central defender suffered a hard blow in the first half, and although he wanted to continue in the game, he could not. He was replaced by Jonathan Villagra at 20 minutes of play.

Chile footballer Vidal cleared of suspicion in sexual assault case
SANTIAGO: Chilean football star Arturo Vidal has been cleared of suspicion of sexual assault, prosecutors said Saturday, adding that the complaint made by a woman over a party at a Santiago night club had been dismissed. The woman accused Vidal, 37, and other players from his first-division Colo Colo side of sexual assault at a club, where the footballers were celebrating a birthday on November 4. 'We were able to reconstitute the events of that day and, ultimately, there is no evidence to support charges,' prosecutor Felipe Cembrano said in a video sent to the media. Other unnamed members of Vidal's team remain under investigation, however. Former Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Inter Milan midfielder Vidal returned last year to Colo Colo, where he started his career at 17. He was part of the so-called 'Golden Generation' that led Chile to victory in the 2015 Copa America.
