The Veracruz Courier
Squad6 Mar 2028
Santiago Lainez is carrying Veracruz
28 goals and a season average of 7.47. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.
Squad6 Mar 2028
Kevin Montes breaks a bone — 106 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 106 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Squad6 Mar 2028
Andrés Araujo keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Veracruz may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Nobody could get near Cesar Reyes
Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Squad6 Mar 2028
Tempers go at Veracruz
Jose Vega 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.
Match4 Mar 2028
Veracruz see off Chiapas
Three points for Veracruz, 1‑0 the final word against Chiapas in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Ninety minutes of Santiago Lainez at his very best
Marked 8.19. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Veracruz.
Boardroom6 Mar 2028
Veracruz release $4.0M for the manager
The board have put money on the table rather than an encouraging word. What happens to it now is somebody else's problem, and somebody else's job.

Eduardo Pineda wants to come home
“I did not go to Atlanta United FC to sit and watch. I want to come back to Veracruz and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 30 matches say the rest.
