Squad

Fernando Bravo keeps Chiapas in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Chiapas bow out of the cup

Veracruz go through and Chiapas go home, 1‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Carlos Gutiérrez

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Juan Palma asks to leave Chiapas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

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

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

Squad

Tempers go at Chiapas

José Joaquín 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.

Squad

Miguel Ángel Herrera out for 21 days

The medical room confirms 21 days on the sidelines for Miguel Ángel Herrera, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Pablo López 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.

Match

Mateo Levy rescues a point for Chiapas

It needed Mateo Levy to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Cruz Azul, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad

Daniel Amador signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel Amador commits to Chiapas for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Chiapas

Pablo López 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.

Match

Chiapas come up short against Tigres

Tigres left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Osciel De La Cruz 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.

Squad

Words at Chiapas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Saldivar 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.

Market

Talks stall between Chiapas and Carlos Higuera

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market

The clock runs on Fernando Ramírez's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Camilo Agualimpia

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Juan Palma is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Chiapas has been clear about where Juan Palma stands, which is more than many ever get.
