Player ratings

Renato Lopes runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Veracruz throw away a 3-goal lead

3 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Tijuana the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Veracruz will enjoy reviewing.

Match

Veracruz are in real trouble now

Position 16, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Player ratings

Both of them Daniel Moreno's — 8.34

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.34, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings

Vintage Manuel Rodriguez — 7.93

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.93, and nobody on the pitch better.

Match

Veracruz come up short against Tijuana

Tijuana left with the points after a 3‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Daniel Moreno

At 23 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Veracruz

Santiago Cena and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

José Mauri 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.

Market

Renato Lopes asks to leave Veracruz

“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.

Market

Veracruz turn down Atromitos for Daniel Moreno

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

Vintage Manuel Rodriguez — 7.92

At 33 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.92, and nobody on the pitch better.

Boardroom

Veracruz go back to the board over Raul Castillo

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $113.8K — a club that wants Raul Castillo enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Jeremías Merlo is a medical away from Veracruz

The deal with Gimnasia La Plata is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

Veracruz bid $110.0K for Raul Castillo

The offer went to Puebla this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Veracruz baulk at the price for Paul Bellón

Leon wanted more than $190.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Match

Whatever happens, Veracruz do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

A falling-out at Veracruz

Kevin Escamilla and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Veracruz march on in the cup

Chiapas are out and Veracruz go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market

Daniel Moreno hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Veracruz can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Veracruz turn down Monterrey for Oribe Montes

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

Transfer targets

Veracruz baulk at the price for Artur Serobyan

Ararat-Armenia wanted more than $4.9M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Player ratings

Cesar Marquez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Kevin Rodriguez, 17, plays like he has been here for years — 7.82

A mark of 7.82 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 17-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Transfer targets

Leon tell Veracruz: José David Ramírez is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Boardroom

Veracruz go back to the board over Paul Bellón

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $204.8K — a club that wants Paul Bellón enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Santino Dudar due for a Veracruz medical

Everything agreed with Ferro Carril Oeste, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market

Veracruz sell their best player to Newcastle United

$10.7M is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Player ratings

Renato Lopes runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

Oribe Montes, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 7.83

A mark of 7.83 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $10.7M sale of Rodolfo Ochoa

He is going to Newcastle United, the club has $10.7M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Squad

Renato Lopes stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Renato Lopes and Veracruz agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Eyes on Rodolfo Romo again

The phone has started ringing about Rodolfo Romo again, and this time the name on the line is Pachuca. Veracruz are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match

Daniel Moreno the difference as Veracruz beat Dorados

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Daniel Moreno. 3‑1 against Dorados, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Transfer targets

Cerro Largo tell Veracruz: Diego Daguerre is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words exchanged at Veracruz

Jesus Romo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

In brief

  • The terraces One of their own: Daniel Moreno
  • Player ratings Daniel Moreno was on a different afternoon to everybody else
  • The terraces The away end at Dorados goes home happy
