The Dorados Courier
Match10 Oct 2026
The wait goes on for Dorados
12 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Match10 Oct 2026
Dorados taken apart
0‑4 to Pachuca, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
Match12 Oct 2026
Dorados are in real trouble now
Position 18, 1 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.

7 saves: José Eulogio was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Tempers go at Dorados
Luis Arcadio García 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.

Salvador Manríquez falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Match10 Oct 2026
The goals have deserted Dorados
3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Dorados can tell you which week it ends in.

Hirving Gallardo steps up from the Dorados academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hirving Gallardo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

No hiding place for Gullit Peña
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Gullit Peña, and the manager let it.
