Player ratings

Up for the corner, and Francisco Meza delivers — 7.89

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Francisco Meza scored, was marked 7.89, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

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 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Chiapas

Raúl Torres 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

Pablo López falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Carlos Higuera 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

The formation has left Raúl Torres behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Chiapas will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

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.

Match

Chiapas share the spoils with Tigres

A 2‑2 draw with Tigres leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Market

Veracruz turn down Porto for Hugo Arteaga

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Hugo Arteaga, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.06

A mark of 8.06 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Sporting CP join the queue for Jorge Dos Santos

Add another name to the list: Sporting CP have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jorge Dos Santos. The answer from Veracruz has not changed — yet.

Market

Victor Corona raises the bar for Veracruz

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Veracruz heard it as anything else.

Squad

Tempers go at Veracruz

Jorge Dos Santos 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.

Transfer targets

Veracruz rebuffed over Jeremías Castro

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. San Martín SJ have kept their man, and Veracruz go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Hugo Arteaga

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Veracruz get the job done against Guadalajara

A 1‑0 win over Guadalajara, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Christian Arteaga runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
