Soccer-Ten-man Chiapas end America’s unbeaten run in Mexico
Unfashionable Chiapas ended America’s 28-match unbeaten domestic run at the weekend, overcoming the defending champions 4-3 despite playing with ten men for nearly an hour.
In other games, UNAM coach Hugo Sanchez saw his team beaten 3-0 at home by Toluca, while Guadalajara continued their poor run by losing 3-2 at home to Monterrey.
America appeared set to extend their run when Brazilian Kleber Pereira gave them a third minute lead in Tuxtla Gutierrez.
However, the Jaguars had other ideas as Paraguayan forward Salvador Cabanas equalised from the penalty spot in the 26th minute.
Despite having Felipe Ayala sent off for a second bookable offence eight minutes later, Chiapas stunned the visitors with two quick goals when Brazilian Everaldo Barbosa and Carlos Ochoa gave them a 3-1 halftime lead.

The pipe-smoking, ski-mask wearing Zapatista rebel leader Subcommander Marcos once again is firing his rhetorical cannon shots from his hideout in the jungle.
Through a flurry of tongue-in-cheek e-mails and letters, the man who spearheaded an indigenous rebellion in Chiapas in 1994 has challenged an Italian soccer team to a match with his hooded guerrillas, co-written a detective novel for a Mexico City newspaper and joked about his growing, un-guerrillalike belly.
But then Marcos aimed a broadside at a more serious target when he attacked former Mexico

Chiapas Closes Mexico Oil Well
Reflecting the mounting safety concerns plaguing Mexico's state-owned petroleum industry, the governor of Chiapas this week shut down a federally owned and operated oil well that he said posed a health and environmental hazard.
It is believed to be the first time a state has shut down an installation of Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, an entity whose revenue funds more than 30% of the federal government's budget. The closed well contributes little economically to Pemex, but company officials are said to fear that Chiapas' intervention could set a precedent.
The move by Chiapas Gov. Pablo Salazar comes as
