The defeat took a back seat for Unión La Calera after what happened with Martín Cicotello. Once the match against O’Higgins was over, the Argentine coach suffered an arrhythmia and had to be assisted at the stadium before being transported by ambulance to a hospital in Rancagua.
The incident occurred at the Estadio El Teniente following the 2-1 loss suffered by the cement team, a result that left them in last place in the National Tournament. Cicotello had participated normally in the post-match press conference, but upon returning to the locker room he began to feel unwell and received initial care there.
The situation caused concern among the team members and the rest of the coaching staff. However, as hours passed, reassuring news arrived from the institution, confirming that the coach was stabilized and did not need to remain hospitalized. "The club wishes to announce that, following the match played against O’Higgins at Estadio El Teniente, our coach Martín Cicotello suffered an arrhythmia", Unión La Calera reported through a statement.
