The Queretaro Sentinel

A one-man rearguard from Guillermo Allison
There were 7 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.

Michael Carcelén shuts the door
Defensive actions: 27, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Nothing got past Diego Reyes
Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 26 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Fernando Valenzuela wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Diego Reyes 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 Queretaro this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Humberto Norman is a better footballer than he was
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 defender's afternoon for Francisco Venegas
Defensive actions: 21. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Mateo Coronel sends Queretaro past Cruz Azul
It finished 1‑0, and it was Mateo Coronel’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Queretaro.

One of those days for Mateo Coronel
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.55, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
In brief
- Squad Jero gets it from the manager
- Market Rodrigo Canseco leaves for nothing
- Market Juan Cázares leaves for nothing
