The knee: Gullit Peña out for 40 days
40 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Chiapas lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Bruno Centeno keeps Chiapas in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match7 Dec 2026
Chiapas sink to position 17
6 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Luis Sánchez says Chiapas went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Tempers go at Chiapas
Jorge Torres Nilo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match5 Dec 2026
Chiapas get the job done against Pumas UNAM
A 2‑1 win over Pumas UNAM, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The crowd has taken to Leandro Mamut
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match5 Dec 2026
The drought breaks for Chiapas
5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and Pumas UNAM were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Manuel Madrid gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
