Output in context · Universidad de Chile finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 85.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
