From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Tempers go at Mineros de Guayana

José Pinto 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.

Match

Mineros de Guayana get the job done against Aragua

A 3‑1 win over Aragua, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings

Gabriel Monjes in the eights

A performance of 9.02 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Mineros de Guayana lose Emilxon Rodríguez

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Juan Méndez

Marked 8.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market

Carabobo expected to open talks for Carlos Espinoza

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Mineros de Guayana will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad

José Useche gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Pedro Ramírez unhappy with how he is being used

Asked to play a role that is not his, or taken off before the hour once too often — Pedro Ramírez has let it be known that he does not like the way Mineros de Guayana are using him. Managers hear this long before the press does.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Edixon Mena

Successful dribbles: 7. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

In brief
