After nearly 2 years playing mostly in the B-team, Delgado became a regular under Héctor Tapia's management, with the first main achievement of his being a goal in a 3–2 victory against the club's main rivals Universidad de Chile. Delgado retained protagonism during the 2014 Torneo Clausura where he played 14 games and scored two goals as Colo-Colo won the title.
