There weren't any notable news in the month between stages apart from the board finally increasing the wage budget so we aren't overspending anymore (though we are still losing money each month due to the poor income). We had 3 friendlies against very small teams. We started the Closing Stage with a trip to Xolos Tijuana where we had a very close game and a result to match it.

The only good thing to come out of this game was the 250.000 euros we received for tickets. We were poor out there and lost.
We are clawing in the league 1 point at a time. A goalless draw sees us slip important places in the table. I'm hoping we'll get a win or two in the coming matches to gather the necessary point to stay up.
How on Earth did we manage to get a point out of this game?!?! They simply pummelled us with an incredible 42 shots and 13 on target. We managed to score in the closing minutes of the game with the only shot on target and stole a very important point.
Last game of the month sees us receiving Chivas, the team which beat us in the Opening Stage and in the Opening Stage of the Mexican Cup. This time we managed to get a point in the same way we got one against Leon. Chivas had 53 shots. Seems like all that defensive training and positioning finally payed off.
