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

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.

Chiapas bid $2.8M for Fernando Valenzuela

Match1 Aug 2026
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.

Words at Chiapas training over how hard people work

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.
