Match

Chastening afternoon for Chiapas

A 0‑8 beating by Tigres was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Carlos Higuera keeps Chiapas in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Transfer targets

Chiapas bid $2.8M for Fernando Valenzuela

The offer went to Queretaro this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

Daniel Amador signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel Amador commits to Chiapas for another 4 years.

Squad

A falling-out at Chiapas

Pablo López and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

8 goals as Chiapas and Tigres go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Chiapas and Tigres, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Words at Chiapas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Diego Abella is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Daniel Amador

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Chiapas dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

In brief
