      Well, if they did not, the owner of Veracruz might still not pay their team, thinking "this is a nice drawing strategy", let's see how long will it last.
      The fact they they did not play even when the other team was scoring goals is the part that send the message to the owner

      They all probably had a few bets on to cover for their lost wages. 1000 dollars on a 3-1 result would be nice.

      “Well, you see, it’s kind of a delicate situation here. We actually exist only to launder drug money, and it complicates matters to have all that money from spectators’ attendance, so we just don’t report the money to the government or anyone else. And everyone is happy. Well, except the players and the fans. But everyone who is important is happy.”
