The Monterrey Gazette
Match12 Oct 2026
Monterrey refuse to drop out of the race
Position 1, 28 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
Match10 Oct 2026
Still nobody has beaten Monterrey
The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Erik Prekop wants to go home
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Monterrey know it.

Tempers go at Monterrey
Orbelín Pineda 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.

Luis Colín is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Nobody could get near Óliver
Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Monterrey get the job done against Atlas
A 1‑0 win over Atlas, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Roberto de la Rosa takes the honours
Marked 7.95 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Monterrey had the best player on the pitch.

A promise honoured for Luis Reyes
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Monterrey told Luis Reyes something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
