Squad24 Aug 2026

Josué Reyes breaks a bone — 90 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match22 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Dorados

1‑7 against Atlas, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Parra stands alone

9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match19 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Dorados

0‑1 against Morelia, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Dorados's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Dorados has to find a result from somewhere.

Market24 Aug 2026

Diego Martínez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Dorados can pretend not to have heard.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Dorados

Ulises Torres and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match22 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Dorados and Atlas in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Santiago Cubides

Dorados asked and Jaguares said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Match15 Aug 2026

Chastening afternoon for Dorados

A 0‑5 beating by Santos Laguna was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Jonathan Vaal

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market17 Aug 2026

Dorados turn down Atlas for Carlos Galicia

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on José Juan Macías

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Dorados have done the hard part with Pumas UNAM, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Dorados

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Jhon Acurio falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Dylan Guajardo

“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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No place for Romario Hernández in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Dorados are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Dorados 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Jonathan Vaal keeps Dorados in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Parra is a medical away from Dorados

The deal with Pumas UNAM is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Salvador Manríquez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Salvador Manríquez and Dorados agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Dorados

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Fernando González Peña falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match8 Aug 2026

Dorados come up short against Veracruz

Veracruz left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Salvador Manríquez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Salvador Manríquez, and the manager let it.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Jesus Gallardo joins the Dorados first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jesus Gallardo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Dorados promote Juan Rodriguez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Juan Rodriguez 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Nowhere to hide for Dorados

1‑7 against Queretaro, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Luis Arcadio García stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Luis Arcadio García and Dorados agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Salvador Manríquez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Dorados this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Dorados and Queretaro in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A long afternoon for Jonathan Vaal

Beaten 7 times, with 5 saves for company. Goalkeepers carry these scorelines on their record whoever actually caused them, which is the quiet injustice of the job.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Cortulua tell Dorados: Mateo Herrera is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jhon Acurio falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Dorados and Luis Arcadio García

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
