The knee: Diego Reyes out for 25 days
25 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Queretaro lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Match3 Oct 2026
Chastening afternoon for Queretaro
A 2‑6 beating by Cruz Azul was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Both of them Mateo Coronel's — 9.04
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.04, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

5 matches without a win for Queretaro
The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Queretaro are no longer polite ones.

A falling-out at Queretaro
Diego Reyes and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match3 Oct 2026
8 goals as Queretaro and Cruz Azul go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Queretaro and Cruz Azul, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

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

Nobody could get near Iker Benito
Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
