No end in sight to Estudiantes de Caracas's wait for a win
10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Estudiantes de Caracas has to find a result from somewhere.

Honours even between Estudiantes de Caracas and Aragua
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
