MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Troubled Mexican side Veracruz have finally won a league match, ending a winless run of 41 games which saw them employ six different coaches, lasted 14 months and featured an unorthodox protest by the players.

A second-half goal by English-born forward Colin Kazim-Richards gave the Red Sharks a 1-0 win over Puebla on Tuesday, their first win since they beat Xolos de Tijuana on Aug. 25 last year.
