Mathías Leonardo Vidangossy Rebolledo (born 25 May 1987) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays for Colo-Colo in the Chilean Primera División, as an attacking midfielder or forward.
Football career
Born in Santiago, Vidangossy began his career in the youth squad of Club Deportivo Universidad Católica, but finished his football grooming at Unión Española. He made his first division debuts in 2005, and became a constant feature in the club's starting lineups.
In 2007, Vidangossy was selected to play for the Chilean U-20 team in the 2007 South American Youth Championship that took place in Paraguay. There, he scored twice against Bolivia.
Chile went on to qualify for the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup that took place in Canada: in the quarterfinals against Nigeria, he netted the last goal in a 4–0 extra time – before scoring in the 122nd minute, he had fallen to the floor with cramps; Chile eventually finished third, the national side's best-ever performance in the category.
After those performances, Vidangossy was signed to a five-year contract with Villarreal CF in Spain, joining compatriots Manuel Pellegrini (coach) and Matías Fernández.[1] However, he would never play any official games for the club, as all of the team's foreign player spots were used up; he was quickly loaned out to fellow La Liga side UD Almería, but met the same fate.
Vidangossy was subsequently loaned to Chilean club Audax Italiano, which played in the 2008 Libertadores Cup. Afterwards, he stayed in the country and also on loan, now to Corporación Deportiva Everton de Viña del Mar.
On 23 June 2009 Vidangossy was confirmed as a new Ñublense player, but he was released after only two months, momentarily retiring from football.[2] He joined Ceará Sporting Club of the Brazilian top division on 17 February 2010[3] but, shortly after, he returned to his country and signed for San Luis Quillota.
