A one-man rearguard from Hugo González
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Toluca say no — this time
The offer from Chiapas for Mauricio Isais was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Luan in a row with a teammate

Nothing got past Bruno Méndez
14 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Toluca pick somebody else ahead of Kevin Martínez
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
