A knee injury of the worst kind for Manuel Arteaga
16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Chiapas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Jonathan Guerrero breaks a bone — 56 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 56 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tempers go at Chiapas
Alonso Hernández 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.

Alonso Hernández sends Chiapas past Puebla
It finished 2‑1, and it was Alonso Hernández’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Chiapas.

Chiapas supporters have found a favourite in Ángel Rico
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Ángel Rico 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.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Jaime Gómez
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jaime Gómez, and the manager let it.
Match12 Sep 2026
At last: Chiapas win one
5 matches without a win, and then this, against Puebla. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Alonso Hernández takes the honours
Marked 7.57 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Chiapas had the best player on the pitch.
In brief
- The dugout Jose Guardado has his say
- The dugout Bruno Amaral is still paying for one afternoon at Chiapas
- The dugout When it matters, Miguel Núñez plays
