Universidad de Chile coach Fernando Gago lauded Eduardo Vargas's decisive goal in the team's victory over Huachipato, emphasizing the player's individual quality.

Gago reflected on the match, particularly the early stages before a player was sent off. He noted that while he appreciated the team's initial performance, the subsequent defensive setup by the opponent required individual actions to overcome. "To break down those schemes, individual action is most important. I am convinced that dribbling and playing a one-two, a nutmeg, or shooting does not depend on a coach, but on individual action," he commented.

Addressing the ongoing transfer window, Gago acknowledged the possibility of player departures. He indicated that the club would be open to offers if a player expresses a desire to leave. "If an offer arrives and the footballer wants to go, why should we close a door? There is also the economic aspect; if they come with 100 million dollars, don't we sell a player?" he questioned, suggesting a pragmatic approach to player movement.
