Felipe Gómez runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 37. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Johan Muñoz: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Leones have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Graduation day at Leones
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

A falling-out at Leones
Germán Meneses and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match22 Jan 2028
Leones keep winning on the road
3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Leones promote Fabian Gonzalez from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Fabian Gonzalez 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.
