Market18 Jun 2029

Nicolás Fonseca is a Tijuana player

The fee is $1.1M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Leon drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Josef Martínez 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 Tijuana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market18 Jun 2029

Toluca watching Diogo Bagüí

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Tijuana have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad18 Jun 2029

No hiding place for Frank Boya

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Frank Boya, and the manager let it.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Jorge Leyva signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jorge Leyva commits to Tijuana for another 3 years.

Squad18 Jun 2029

Kevin Escamilla asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Match10 Mar 2029

No end in sight to Tijuana's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Tijuana has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad12 Mar 2029

Jorge Hernández keeps Tijuana in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad12 Mar 2029

Tijuana lose José Antonio Rodríguez

50 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad12 Mar 2029

Vitinho 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 Tijuana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A masterclass from Diogo Bagüí

Marked 8.94 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings12 Mar 2029

Vitinho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad12 Mar 2029

Adonis Preciado is carrying Tijuana

7 goals and a season average of 7.23. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match10 Mar 2029

Diogo Bagüí rescues a point for Tijuana

It needed Diogo Bagüí to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Monterrey, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings12 Mar 2029

Diego Abreu keeps on missing

Shots: 9, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad9 Oct 2028

Tempers go at Tijuana

Josef Martínez 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.

Player ratings9 Oct 2028

A masterclass from Jackson Porozo

Marked 9.34 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings9 Oct 2028

Nothing got past Aarón Mejía

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings9 Oct 2028

One of those days for Josef Martínez

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.24, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match7 Oct 2028

Tijuana see off Veracruz

Three points for Tijuana, 2‑0 the final word against Veracruz in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings9 Oct 2028

A masterclass from Ignacio Rivero

Marked 8.52 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Facundo Popolizio stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Facundo Popolizio and Tijuana agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Aldahir Pérez 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.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Jackson Porozo is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.21 with 5 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Tijuana sell Martín Bonilla for $720.0K

Martín Bonilla has left for Atlas in a $720.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.
