Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Efrain Gutierrez 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 The request is on a desk at Veracruz, and it is not being withdrawn.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 get their man
The chase for Eros García ended with $160.0K changing hands and Toluca out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Veracruz spend $160.0K on the signing the town wanted
It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $160.0K for Eros García, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.
