Ignacio Rivero runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Tempers go at Tijuana
Unai Bilbao 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.

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.

Unai Bilbao was the difference for Tijuana
Marked 7.71. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Frank Boya dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Tijuana know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Diego Arce leaves for nothing
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Diego Arce leaves Tijuana the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
In brief
- Market Jesús Rodríguez leaves for nothing
- Market Joban González leaves for nothing
