Mauricio Ricardo Pinilla Ferrera (born February 4, 1984 in San Bernardo ) is a Chilean football player .
Career
society
Mauricio Pinilla comes from the greater Santiago area and started playing football at Universidad de Chile . He made his debut in the first team when he was just under 18. In a year and a half in the Chilean Primera División he scored 20 goals, half of them in a half season in just 14 games. Inter Milan brought him to Italy in the summer of 2004 and loaned him first to Chievo Verona and then to Spain to Celta Vigo .
A long period of change through Europe and South America began, in which Pinilla could barely gain a foothold and seldom could prove his scoring threat. After Italy and Spain, where he remained without a league goal, he went to Portugal to Sporting Lisbon , for which he came on five goals in 16 games; from there was awarded the following year to Spain to Racing Santander , to Edinburgh, Scotland, to Heart of Midlothian and for a few games back to his hometown club Universidad de Chile. The Hearts brought him back to Scotland after his contract expired, but after only six months he went to Brazil to CR Vasco da Gama and from there to Cyprus to Apollon Limassol .
The turning point came in the 2009/10 season with the commitment by the Italian second division club US Grosseto . In 24 appearances he scored 24 goals; in twelve games in a row, he scored at least one goal on every use. Therefore, the ambitious first division club US Palermo secured its services after the season. Pinilla was also able to assert itself in Serie A. When the club did not achieve its goals, however, he was loaned to the league rivals Cagliari Calcio during the winter break , who finally took him under contract. His time in Sardinia was the longest continuous time with a club in his career.
For the 2014/15 season Mauricio Pinilla moved to Genoa . After a year, however, he left the Genoese again and joined Atalanta Bergamo .
In January 2017 Pinilla switched back to CFC Genoa. After twelve missions without a goal, Pinilla moved back to Chile to CF Universidad de Chile after six months .
After his contract with Universidad was terminated in 2018, the Chilean first division team Coquimbo Unido took him on six months later .
National team
Even in his youth, Pinilla's talent was recognized by the coaches of the Chilean junior teams and he was used in the U-17 and U-20. After his debut in the league, he was called up to the Chilean national team at the age of 19 . Seven games with two goals were recorded in the first year and he also played regularly for the national team in the following years. Since his club career was so eventful, there were no more appearances after 2006 and only in 2011, at the beginning of the qualification for the soccer World Cup in Brazil, he was brought back. He played three times in the qualification; In preparation for the World Cup, he was used three more times in friendly matches. Eventually he was included in the squad of the 23 World Cup players in Chile.
At the World Cup tournament, he made two short appearances as a substitute in the final minutes against Australia and the Netherlands in the group stage. In the round of 16 against hosts Brazil , he was substituted on in the 87th minute when the score was 1: 1. Shortly before the end of extra time, a long-range shot from him hit the crossbar of the Brazilian goal. In the final penalty shootout, he was one of three Chileans whose penalty did not go into the goal. Brazil won 3-2 and ended Chile's appearance at the World Cup.
In the two victories of the Copa America in 2015 and 2016 , both times against Argentina , he was also in the squad, but was not used in the finals.
After the Copa América 2016, he made two more games for the Chilean national football team , but then he was removed from the squad.
