Santiago Wanderers lives one of the worst sporting crises in its history. The cast “caturro” adds just one point out of 30 possible, with nine defeats in 10 games, something that has fans in Valparaíso on fire.
So bad is the performance of the “Dean” -barely 3.3% – that to equate it to other campaigns in Chilean soccer, we must go back to performances by teams that simply no longer exist.
In 1949, for example, the humble Badminton scored zero points in ten days: he lost absolutely everything he played, and as expected, he ended up fighting relegation at the end of the year. Of course, he found some respite when he merged with Ferroviarios to save the category, something impossible in these times.
Thus, in the 50s, Ferrobádminton was born, a club that only lived for 19 years, because in 1969, due to differences between the leaders, who decided to go their separate ways, they became two clubs again.
Matching another missing
Who has exactly the same record as Santiago Wanderers in National Championships is Santiago National, another painting that is already part of the past, since it ceased to exist in 1961.
In 1942, they fell 9 months and only registered an equality, as it happens with the Buenos Aires team this season. Luckily for them, at that time there was no relegation, luck with which the team of Emiliano Astorga will not have, that if he does not improve, he is a serious candidate to lose the category.
Wanderers will have a new opportunity to finally add three in this tournament, when he faces Palestino in La Cisterna on Sunday, July 25, at 3:00 p.m.
