A fracture rules Brandon Rosas out for 59 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Chiapas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

6 saves: Rodrigo Lugo was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Tempers go at Chiapas
Rodrigo Lugo 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.

A row about effort at Chiapas
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jaime Gómez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Deadline beats Chiapas to Luis Gutiérrez
The clock did what Queretaro would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Chiapas supporters have found a favourite in Ángel Rico
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Ángel Rico has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Pachuca snatch it back from Chiapas
A goal on 88 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Ángel Rico was the difference for Chiapas
Marked 7.81. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

The cruellest goal, and it is Bryan Gamboa's
A touch he did not want, a bounce he could not have read, and his name in the wrong column. There is no consoling a man after one of these, and Chiapas will not try tonight.
In brief
- Match Honours even between Chiapas and Pachuca
- The dugout Diego González gets it from the manager
- The dugout Alexis Corona on the point
