Atlas run riot against Puebla
4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Both of them Eduardo Aguirre's — 8.94
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.94, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Atlas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

8.28. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

A masterclass from Alfonso González
Marked 8.28 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Words exchanged at Atlas
Kevin Escamilla and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Mauricio Medrano out for 26 days

In brief
