Sports Club Puerto Montt

The Club de Deportes Puerto Montt is a professional Chilean soccer team, from the city of Puerto Montt, capital of the Los Lagos Region. It was founded on May 6, 1983 and since the second half of 2015 it has participated in Primera B, the second category of Chilean football.

The club regularly hosts the Estadio Regional de Chinquihue, a venue located in the same commune, and which has an approximate capacity of 10,000 spectators.

Its classic rivals are Provincial Osorno, with whom it competes in the classic of the south, and Deportes Valdivia. The rivalry with the latter increased after the independence of Valdivia from the Los Lagos Region; region of which Puerto Montt is the capital and to which Osorno also belongs.

History

The Beginnings

It was the summer of 1983 and the then President of the Central Football Association (ACF), Rolando Molina, in the framework of a tour to the south of the country, pointed out the possibility of Valdivia, Osorno and Puerto Montt entering soccer professional of the then Second Division. The idea was well received by the mayor of Puerto Montt at the time, Mr. Jorge Brahm Yurasceck, and a work commission was formed to study the feasibility of the project. Said commission was made up of Juan Machado Orlando Alcalde, Raúl Bade, Johnny Alvarado, Enrique Brahm, Edmundo Johnson Fiedler, and José "Pepe" Safe. On Thursday, April 28, 1983, the Commission, reporting on the progress of its work, reported that the budget required for the birth of the institution was $658,000 pesos of the time, considering salaries of the coach, players, and other expenses. All these studies were presented by the Commission to the representatives of the ACF, Messrs. Hector Péndola and José Salerno, with whom they met on May 6. That day was made official as the club's founding date.

On May 11, a meeting was called in the municipal hall, which was attended by Mayor Jorge Brahm, city sports leaders, fans, and the general public. Among the points that were discussed, was the name of the new club. Several were proposed, such as: Cayenel, Deportivo Angelmó, Deportes Reloncaví, Austral Puerto Montt, Regional Puerto Montt and others, but the name Club de Deportes Puerto Montt won by a majority of votes, which remains until the present day.

However, the club's debut had to wait a couple of months. On Sunday, August 21, 1983, the Puertomontinos played their first commitment in professional soccer. It happened at the Collao Stadium, in which they beat the local Deportes Concepción 1-2. Jorge Cordero and Francisco Castillo were the scorers, and from the bench they were directed by the former national team and his first coach, Sergio Navarro. But before that, he played several others in that 1983 preseason. The first one he played in his history was a friendly on July 1, 1983 in Maullín, against the Maullín amateur team, which he won by 7 goals to 1. The match was held in Maullín, because the club was doing its preseason there, with Physical Trainer Heriberto Soto, on the beautiful beaches of Pangal.

In his first year on the rise, in 1983, he had a spectacular start with three victories in a row that elevated him as the leader of the competition, but a losing streak of draws and losses finally placed him in the middle of the table of positions. However, the campaign led by World Cup player Sergio Navarro was considered satisfactory. This same year he also had his international debut with a friendly match on Tuesday, December 13, played at the Chinquihue Stadium, against the pre-Olympic Argentina team, the match ended in a goalless tie. The following year, under the guidance of the popular coach Hernán Godoy, the team was at the forefront for a large part of the championship, but an unexpected defeat at home against Deportes Concepción, allowed the lilac team to take a five-point lead, which by regulation left them without effect the league for the title and allowed the direct promotion of the penquistas. In 1985 it started with good results, but in the official tournament the situation was different and only a harrowing victory on the penultimate date against Deportes Victoria by 2-1 as a visitor, allowed it to retain the category. This season he added a relevant fact to his record, which was playing for the first time at night and under artificial light. It was on Saturday, June 13, at the Estadio Regional de Concepción, where they lost 2-0 to Arturo Fernández Vial. The following year, under the technical direction of Jorge Socías, the anxieties of relegation once again pressured the team until the last date. Only a tense draw against Provincial Osorno at the Parque Schott Stadium saved them from falling to the Third Division. However, this year and for the first time, he played abroad. It happened on Wednesday, July 9, in the city of Cipolletti, Province of Neuquén, Argentina, where they drew a goalless draw against Independiente of that town.

Promotion to the First Division

In the Primera B championship, one of the greatest joys of the club, took place on Saturday, November 16, 1996, when after defeating Ñublense 3-1 in Chillán, the runner-up in Primera B was achieved and it was promoted to the First Division, for the first time in its history. This match was the first to be televised in the club's history, as it was broadcast by UCV Televisión on its cable signal for all its subscribers. In the squad that achieved promotion, there were players like Walter Otta, César Yáñez, Marcelo León, Francis Ferrero, Manuel López, Mauricio Tampe and Oscar Gualdoni. His best campaign in the First Division at that time was in 1998, when he finished in seventh place in that year's tournament, which was won by Colo-Colo. That placement in seventh place in the 1998 tournament made Deportes Puerto Montt close to qualifying for the Copa Libertadores Liguilla. In 1999, the club was reinforced with the Paraguayans Domingo Arévalo and Justo Javier Meza, who were the architects of the team's permanence, in the honor series.

Relegation to Second Category

In 2001, the team was relegated to the second division (now Primera B) in the company of O'Higgins.

The quick return to Primera and his first title

He managed to return the following year 2002 to the division of honor, when he became champion of the Chilean First Division B, this being his first title, after beating Everton 2-0 at home and defeating the following date 3- 2, as a visitor to Unión La Calera.

In 2006, it ranked 3.er place in the regular phase of the Closing Championship, fighting until the last dates for the Chile 3 quota, which qualified for the Copa Libertadores de América. They reached the Play-Offs phase, obtaining the leadership of Group C (with 33 points), but remained in the Quarterfinals, at the hands of the eventual Champion of the tournament, Colo-Colo.

Relegation to Primera B

In 2007, in the Opening Tournament (which was played without Play-Offs), it finished in 18th position after a bad season. In the Closing Tournament, his performance did not improve much and he obtained 16th place in the tournament and 18th in the accumulated table (the third from last place), with which he entered the Promotion League in a triangle against Santiago Morning and Deportes Copiapó, in which after 2 victories at home and 2 losses as a visitor, it is located in 2nd place in the triangular after Santiago Morning and descends to Primera B, after 5 years of stay in the Primera División.

In 2008, he had a good campaign in Primera B, based on good football, which always had him in privileged places, fighting for the championship in both the Opening and Closing, even becoming absolute Pointer, after beating Curicó Unido in the Clausura, in Chinquihue 2-1. Despite this, he could not maintain the lead and he only had to fight for the Clausura, but after 2 consecutive defeats in the penultimate and penultimate date of the tournament, he only managed to access the Promotion League for the second consecutive year, for a quota in the First Division for the 2009 season against the Spanish Union. In the first leg played at the Chinquihue Stadium, and in front of a frame of approximately 7,000 spectators, Deportes Puerto Montt lost 1-2. While in the second leg, in a match played in Santa Laura, and after winning 0-3, the Hispanic team tied the game 3-3, for which Deportes Puerto Montt remained in the First B of Chilean soccer and Unión Española stayed in the First Division.

In the 2009 season, the team made history by playing professional soccer matches for the first time on the Island of Chiloé. On July 5, they faced Provincial Osorno, at the Fiscal Stadium in the city of Castro, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. That year the club had an irregular campaign, which had it in the middle of the table. While for the Chile Cup they reached the Fifth Phase, being eliminated at the hands of the current champion Universidad de Concepción.

In the 2010 season, during the First Phase of the Championship, he had a very good campaign, coming out as the Exclusive Pointer of the South Zone, and also 3rd in the General Table, only due to Goal Difference, thus accessing the Promotion League, in which he lowered his Performance, leaving behind any option to Ascend. In another Front, the Copa Chile Bicentenario, achieved a remarkable participation, reaching the Semifinals, defeating rivals such as Prat de Punta Arenas (5-0 both games), Provincial Osorno (0-0 and 3-7) in the First Phase. Already in the Final Phase, in the Round of 16 they defeated the Catholic University in a great match 4-2, and then in the quarterfinals they also beat the Spanish Union 2-1. His participation ends when he is defeated by what would later be the champion, Municipal Iquique 3-2.

Relegation to the third category of Chilean soccer

In 2012, and after carrying out a bad campaign, it finished in last place in the accumulated table of the First B, going down to the Second Professional Division. Their relegation was consummated with a 0-0 draw against Magallanes at the Santiago Bueras Stadium, while at the same time Curicó Unido, their direct rival, beat San Luis de Quillota at home.

On February 23, 2013, he made his debut in the Segunda División Profesional, the third category of Chilean soccer, in Los Angeles, where he lost 1-0 to local team Iberia. He finished sixth in the table with 30 points in 22 games played maintaining the category.

The 2013-14 season was one of the club's best campaigns in history. He fought the championship inch by inch with Iberia, which beat him on the penultimate date in Puerto Montt, taking away the option of direct promotion at a term date. Finally, they fell to San Antonio Unido in San Antonio, finishing third in the table with 46 points, just two behind the champion, Iberia.

Champions and promotion to First B

In the 2014-15 season, he managed to become champion of the Second Professional Division, after beating San Antonio Unido 4-0 at Chinquihue, taking first place from those from the central port, thus achieving promotion to the First B, after their relegation in 2012. The goals were doubles by Pablo Corral (both from penalties) and Javier Parraguez.

Second round group round 2015-2016

In 2016, Deportes Puerto Montt, playing again in Primera B, qualified for the league for the second promotion spot, thanks to finishing 4th in the 2nd round standings. First, they qualified for the semifinal of the Post-season of the wheel, where they defeated Rangers de Talca 1-0 in the first leg, with a goal from Jefferson Castillo and in the revenge, they won by the same score, with a goal from Jose Martinez rebound. In the second round group final, they played the first leg in Los Angeles against Iberia, losing 1-0 with a solitary goal from striker Diego Ruiz; However, the dolphins turned the score around in Puerto Montt, achieving a comfortable 4 to 0 with goals from Marcelo Aguilar at 41'; Juan Pablo Abrazua at 65' Jorge romo at 75' and Bibencio served at 90 and then went on to the final of the second quota of the Chilean Ascent, where he faced Everton (who was the winner of the Liguilla in the first round).

Final for the second place of promotion 2015-2016

On May 18, 2016, the first leg of the grand final was played, where the Dolphins would end up losing 3-1, with a controversial expulsion against them, at Sausalito in Viña Del Mar, with a popcorn goal from the Paraguayan Bibencio Servín, for the salmon farmers and Pedro Sánchez, Gabriel Díaz and Rafael Viotti, for the Viñamarinos; It was a hard blow for the Puerto Monterrey club, but the faith remained intact that in the Chinquihue redoubt, they could become strong. On May 22, 2016, a day that was highly anticipated by the fans of Puerto Monterrey, the turn of the key was played, before a packed stadium, a very good atmosphere and the return of the hype to Los del Sur. At 1:00 p.m., the commitment of a dubious arbitration was played, by Mr. Eduardo Gamboa, Puerto Montt winning by a difference of 2 goals, it went to penalties from then on, it went up directly. The first half was slow where no one had any concrete scoring options except for a shot from the Dolphins that was comfortably cleared; The second half was even with good opportunities for both, the best ones were a volley shot by Joaquín Díaz, where the roulette defenders served on the line, from there it was more Puerto Montt, until in the 81st minute, a hand on the Evertonian area, was penalized from 12 steps, where Bibencio Servín converted and hopes were still intact, there was only one goal left, to go to penalty kicks, but everything they did was in vain, since there were no concrete goal options. The game ended 1-0 with great disappointment, because it meant Everton's promotion to the First Division, after 2 years of absence, but at the same time, it was very honoring, since it was the first year, that they returned to the First B, where The team had been assembled so as not to descend and reach those instances, it was a true achievement.

Shield

The club's shield is circular in shape, and its predominant colors are white, green and blue. Around him his typography expresses at the top "Deportes Puerto Montt" and in the lower part of the same "Chile", both in black. In the center of the shield there is a blue dolphin (it represents the club, a nickname that was coined in the 80s); a blue, white and green flag (representative emblem of the city of Puerto Montt); and a black and white ball (as an element that associates the city with soccer).

Historically, there are three shields that the club has used. The first dates from the creation of the club on May 6, 1983, at that time the obvious was chosen, the civic shield only adding the name of the club in the red borders. There the most representative symbols of the city were shown: the four hills (meaning Melipulli, the old name of the city), the volcanoes, the famous sailboat that could be seen before in the Angelmó market, and a tree that indicates the green from the area.

The first big change was in 2003. With the growth of the aquaculture market, it allowed many companies to put money into the institution. With that, there was a change of shield, where you can see a salmon, the flag with the colors of the city and a soccer ball, all within a white circle with blue lines.

The third change, or rather modifications of the previous one, was June 14, 2016, used from the 2016-17 season, changing details that in the end are pure identity. The traditional Chilote sailboat was added to the city flag, and the disputed orange salmon was exchanged for a blue dolphin or bottlenose dolphin.

There was another shield that began to become popular in the early 90s, and that became better known with the arrival of the club in the First Division in 1997. Although it is true, this was never considered official and was never used on the shirt, was shown many times in Don Balón magazines and on television broadcasts. The shield represented the flag of the city, with the black sailboat in the middle, and with the name "Pto. Mont" on top.

Club Mascot

Today there is no official mascot of the club, but there is an iconic figure that is the "Chancho Lorenzo" located in the Chinquihue stadium. Since 1991, it is a statue that has not been far from controversy, since during the last remodeling of the sports venue, it had been removed and due to citizen pressure, it was re-entered the stadium.

At some point there was also a person who personified himself in a costume of the popular and iconic Chancho Lorenzo together with Salmonix, an extinct mascot personified from the southern club.

Stadium

Panoramic photo of Chinquihue Regional Stadium.

The Puerto Montt Sports Club is located in the Chinquihue Regional Stadium, a venue that was inaugurated in 1982 on the occasion of the national amateur championship of that year in the city and where Puerto Montt was titled National Champion. The stadium is owned by the Illustrious Municipality of Puerto Montt and currently has a capacity of approximately 10,000 spectators.

This site was affected by a remodeling process in which more than 9 billion pesos were invested in total, leaving the "new Chinquihue" enabled under FIFA regulations, with a covered grandstand for the stadium's capacity, in addition to a total remodeling of the seats and the main entrance to the venue, it was also possible to recondition the dressing room sector, the facilities dedicated to the press. All this without losing sight of the Tenglo Channel. The remodeling, however, was only carried out in the primary stage of the global project, since with the earthquake that occurred in Chile at the beginning of 2010, the government postponed the completion of the second part of the stadium, which was completed during the first days of April 2013., leaving a total capacity of 10,000 spectators, in order to be considered as one of the sub-venues of the 2015 U-17 Soccer World Cup, to be held in Chile.
