Successful dribbles: 43. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Hirving Moreno puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Veracruz, and it is not being withdrawn.

Veracruz are shipping goals every week
Two or more conceded in each of the last 7 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Vitor Nardo 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 Veracruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager makes an example of Marco Vega
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Atlas take the points off Veracruz
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

A season-long audition: Columbus Crew still own him, but the shirt and the minutes are Veracruz's to give. A loan is a bet both clubs believe they are winning.
