1‑3 against Junior, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Jaguares supporters have found a favourite in Gianluca Ruggi
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Gianluca Ruggi 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.

Gianluca Ruggi the difference as Jaguares beat Aguilas Doradas

Richard Cardona has his say

“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.

When it matters, Yairo Moreno plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The first one for Gianluca Ruggi
Every signing waits for it and every press conference asks about it until it comes. It has come, Jaguares have their man off the mark, and the second one is always easier.
In brief
