Nobody could get near Daniel Ferraresi
Successful dribbles: 66. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Match15 Aug 2026
No mercy from Estudiantes de Caracas
Mineros de Guayana will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Estudiantes de Caracas were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

The small margins put Estudiantes de Caracas out

Richard Rosales scores twice — 8.93
Two goals and a mark of 8.93 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The manager makes an example of Rafael Rondon
