Félix Bautista Corte Bórquez (4 August 1898 – 21 April 1982), also known as Giuseppe Corte, Felice Coste or Felice Carte,[1] was a Chilean footballer who played as a forward.
A football forward, Corte joined Internado FC, the previous club to Universidad de Chile, in 1914, winning both the Copa Excelsior and the Copa Independencia of the Asociación de Football de Santiago (AFS).[1][2]
After taking part in the World War I from 1917 to 1918 as an Italian officer, he joined Livorno in 1919, becoming the first Chilean to play in the Italian top division.[3] He joined the team alongside the Iacoponi brothers, Bruno, another Italian soldier, and Gino, who later played in Chile.[1]
He made fifteen appearances for Livorno and they reached the national final against Inter Milan of the 1919–20 Prima Categoria, losing by 3–2.[1][4][5]
Back in Chile, he rejoined Internado FC in 1921, winning the Copa Chile of the AFS.[6][2] As a student of University of Chile, he also represented them in the Clásico Universitario against Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in 1921 and 1922.[1]
In 1923, Corte joined Audax Italiano, becoming the team captain and called up the Iacoponi brothers, Bruno and Gino, both fellows in Livorno, winning the 1924 Primera División of the Liga Metropolitana.[1]
After a stint with CD Scout from Punta Arenas from 1925 to 1926,[7] he ended his career with Audax Italiano in 1927–28.[1][2]
International career
Corte represented the Chile national team in a friendly match against Uruguay, a 0–1 loss, on 12 October 1924. As a member of the Liga Metropolitana squad, he faced them again on 26 October, a 1–3 loss.[1]
