Match

11 matches without a win for Dorados

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Dorados are no longer polite ones.

Match

Dorados are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 11 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

The dugout

Alan Ramos keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Dorados may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Real improvement from Juan Usma at Dorados

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Juan Usma is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

A falling-out at Dorados

Jorge Rodríguez and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Oswaldo Alanís is slowing down

At 37, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Match

Leonardo Vargas’s goal not enough for Dorados

Leonardo Vargas scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Puebla, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Sergio Ceballos falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Salvador Manríquez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

In brief
