The run at home goes on for Leon
17 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Leon promote Daniel Marquez from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Daniel Marquez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
