Duk asks to leave Atlas
“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.

Alan Mozo is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Atlas is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Atlas write off $992.5K on Ramiro Árciga
He arrived for a fee and leaves for a fraction of it. $992.5K of what Atlas paid for Ramiro Árciga is money the club will not see again, and the boardroom will be asked about it for two seasons.

Sebastian Aceves keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Atlas may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Window shuts: 17 in, 18 out at Atlas
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 17 arrived, 18 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Atlas cannot stop winning
3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Nicolás Ramírez has just signed for Atlas, and for once the answer mattered.

A falling-out at Atlas
Ulises Rivas and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Atlas supporters have found a favourite in Patricio Salas
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Patricio Salas has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
