David Arango could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.22
Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.22, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Age has not caught Gabriel Herrera yet — 9.26
At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.26 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Richard Arango signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Richard Arango and Atletico Venezuela agree another 2 years.

Gabriel Herrera in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Atletico Venezuela this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Aragua blown away early
There is a particular helplessness in conceding 2 times before the twentieth minute. Aragua tried to reorganise, Atletico Venezuela did not allow it, and the result was written long before it was confirmed.

Victor Ramirez runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The manager makes an example of Carlos Rondon
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
