Junior Casseres keeps Atletico Venezuela in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Atletico Venezuela bow out of the cup

A brace, and Gabriel Machis takes the afternoon — 8.66
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Gabriel Machis provided it, and the 8.66 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Nobody could get near Francisco Gonzalez
Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Junior Casseres 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.

Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Atletico Venezuela and Deportivo Lara in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
