Match

Tigres through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Morelia, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

Rodrigo López scores twice — 8.18

Two goals and a mark of 8.18 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Fernando Gorriarán wants more than Tigres are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Alan Franco in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tigres this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Jesús Garza was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout

Fernando Gorriarán 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Diego Sánchez

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad

Words at Tigres training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Pablo Vigon is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Fernando Gorriarán's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief
