Brayan Josué Cortés Fernández (born 11 March 1995) is a Chilean footballer that currently plays as goalkeeper for Primera División club Colo-Colo and the Chile national team.

Club career

[edit]

Deportes Iquique

[edit]

Born in Iquique, Chile, he played as goalkeeper since he was five and joined hometown Deportes Iquique youth set-up aged fourteen.[2] He was promoted to the first adult team in 2013 and his professional debut came one year later on 30 March 2014, where conceded three goals in a 3–0 away loss with Ñublense.[3]

After completing the 2013–14 with two appearances and a Copa Chile (as back-up), Cortés was chosen as the coming season first-choice keeper by Héctor Pinto after Rodrigo Naranjo injury.[4] He played the tournament's first five matches, highlighting his performances against powerhouses Colo-Colo (2–0 loss)[5] and Universidad de Chile (2–2 draw)[6] that kept him some games more in the goal after returning the bench with Naranjo fully recovered.

He completed the 2014–15 season with eight appearances.

International career

Chilean under-20 team

Cortés participated for Chile U20 at the 2013 South American Youth Football Championship, where the U20s reached its qualification to 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He played one game during the contest in a 3–2 group stage win over Paraguay, being chosen as the man of the match.[7]

Prior the Youth World Cup held in Turkey, Cortés played some exhibition games, highlighting a 4–4 draw with Uzbekistan where he performed well during the ninety minutes and saved a shoot during the penalties which bring to Chile the victory.[8] On 31 May 2015, Cortés was included by Mario Salas in the 23-man roster to face the category's World Cup.[9]

In 2015, he was included again in a Chilean national under-20 team roster, after being nominated by Hugo Tocalli to the South American Youth Championship in Uruguay.[10] Cortes played in the Estadio La Corregidora in Querétaro, Mexico for the Chile national team against Mexico.

Chile under-23 team

[edit]

Despite being 27, he represented Chile at under-23 level in a 1–0 win against Peru U23 on 31 August 2022, in the context of preparations for the 2023 Pan American Games.[11] He was included in the final squad as an overage player alongside César Fuentes and Matías Zaldivia,[12] where Chile won the silver medal.[13]
