Rodrigo Eduardo Tapia Contreras (born 13 March 1988) is a Chilean former footballer who played as a forward.
Tapia made his debut with Colo-Colo in 2006, appearing in three games and scoring one goal.[1] He represented the Chile national team at the U-17 level in 2005.[2]
In the 2006 Clasura Tournament 2006 quarterfinals, Tapia along with many other youth players got their chance to shine because the first-team regulars were in Mexico waiting for their Copa Sudamericana 2006 match. Tapia took full advantage of the moment and scored in Colo-Colo's surprise victory over Puerto Montt, 1–0.[3]
In his homeland, he also played for Ñublense, Municipal Iquique, Fernández Vial, Deportes Ovalle, Trasandino and San Antonio Unido.[3]
