The Monagas B Post
Player ratings26 Apr 2027
Both of them Saúl Asibe's — 8.52
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.52, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
The terraces26 Apr 2027
The crowd has taken to Saúl Asibe
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match24 Apr 2027
Late, late show earns Monagas B a point
Minute 91, against Ureña, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.
The dugout26 Apr 2027
No hiding place for Jhon Mancilla
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jhon Mancilla, and the manager let it.
Match24 Apr 2027
Monagas B share the spoils with Ureña
A 2‑2 draw with Ureña leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
The dugout26 Apr 2027
A promise honoured for Thomas Riveros
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Monagas B told Thomas Riveros something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
Squad26 Apr 2027
Saúl Asibe is off the mark for Monagas B
The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Nobody could get near Kleybert Rivero
Successful dribbles: 10. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Market26 Apr 2027
The shop window has Carlos Marcano in it
Monagas B have let the market know Carlos Marcano can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.
In brief
- Squad Santiago Natera has taken the shirt
- Squad The room hears from Yerwin Sulbarán
- Player ratings Jhon Mancilla on a tightrope all afternoon
