Squad26 Jul 2027

4 goals for Robert Morales

The match ball belongs to Robert Morales, whose 4 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match24 Jul 2027

The run at home goes on for Pumas UNAM

17 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Transfer targets26 Jul 2027

Uroš Đurđević due for a Pumas UNAM medical

Everything agreed with Monterrey, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom26 Jul 2027

Manuel Sánchez has agreed to leave Pumas UNAM for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Market26 Jul 2027

Ángel Azuaje moves on

Puebla pay $1.3M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Tempers go at Pumas UNAM

Robert Morales 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.

Market26 Jul 2027

José Castro is a Pumas UNAM player

The fee is $240.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Tijuana drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market26 Jul 2027

Pumas UNAM get their man

The chase for David Shrem ended with $240.0K changing hands and Toluca out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Match24 Jul 2027

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Pumas UNAM and Pachuca in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Market24 May 2027

Santiago López has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Pumas UNAM they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad24 May 2027

A falling-out at Pumas UNAM

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

Squad24 May 2027

Adalberto Carrasquilla 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.

Loan watch24 May 2027

Víctor Arteaga has seen enough of Toluca

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Pumas UNAM, and 3 appearances in 18 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout24 May 2027

The manager makes an example of Guillermo Martínez

“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.

The dugout24 May 2027

Adalberto Carrasquilla has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Pumas UNAM will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market24 May 2027

The Pablo Bennevendo question follows Pumas UNAM around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Pablo Bennevendo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout24 May 2027

José Juan Macías has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and José Juan Macías has written the date down.

The dugout24 May 2027

Máximo Gutierrez knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Máximo Gutierrez trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
