The Zulia Chronicle
Match1 Aug 2026
Halcón leads the rout of Zamora
3‑0, and Halcón took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Zulia tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Both of them Halcón's — 8.41
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.41, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Marcelo Borges asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Halcón is off the mark for Zulia
The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
