Market

Rayo Zuliano pay Metropolitanos $370.0K for a proper upgrade

Metropolitanos did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $370.0K for Agustín Bianciotti, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Squad

Words exchanged at Rayo Zuliano

Lewuis Peña 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.

Transfer targets

No deal for Keiber Roa at that price

Rayo Zuliano offered $120.0K; Carabobo said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

The terraces

Rayo Zuliano spend $370.0K on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $370.0K for Agustín Bianciotti, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Squad

José Navarro signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” José Navarro and Rayo Zuliano agree another 2 years.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Sergio Avellaneda

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

Squad

Words at Rayo Zuliano training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joantony Carmona is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

A long bet from Rayo Zuliano on Fabián Pacheco

He is 20, and nobody at Rayo Zuliano signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Transfer targets

Rayo Zuliano try to borrow Francisco Gómez

Racing Club have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The Trujillanos Sentinel

14 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Johan Osorio breaks a bone — 61 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 61 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $100.0K sale of Fabián Pacheco

He is going to Rayo Zuliano, the club has $100.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market

Trujillanos turn down Academia Puerto Cabello for Jhonny González

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

Squad

Tempers go at Trujillanos

Johan Osorio was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Fabián Pacheco moves on

Rayo Zuliano pay $100.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Transfer targets

Trujillanos rebuffed over Enzo Cardozo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Almirante Brown have kept their man, and Trujillanos go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

When it matters, Steven Pabón plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

The José Rivas Gamboa question follows Trujillanos around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with José Rivas Gamboa’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market

Still no ink between Trujillanos and Greyberth Trompetera

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Trujillanos, another week without a signature from Greyberth Trompetera.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

No mercy from Trujillanos

Angostura will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Trujillanos were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

A brace, and José Rivas Gamboa takes the afternoon — 9.00

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. José Rivas Gamboa provided it, and the 9.00 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Fabián Pacheco at 20 — 8.40

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Fabián Pacheco did not need any: 8.40, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Agustín Araujo stays put

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

Squad

Tempers go at Trujillanos

Leomar Mosquera was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Trujillanos

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jhonny González was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces

One of their own: Fabián Pacheco

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Squad

50 goals in the shirt for José Rivas Gamboa

50 for the club now, each one filed in somebody’s memory with a date and a scoreline. Numbers like this are what supporters argue about in twenty years.

Market

Still no ink between Trujillanos and Jhonny González

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Trujillanos, another week without a signature from Jhonny González.

In brief

  • Market The clock runs on Agustín Araujo's contract
  • The dugout The manager has not finished forgetting José Febres's mistake
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
