Chiqui sends Llaneros through
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Chiqui obliged against Caracas. 2‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Llaneros.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
A brace, and Chiqui takes the afternoon — 8.86
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Chiqui provided it, and the 8.86 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

A debut Roberto Machis will not forget — 7.62
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.62 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

One of those days for Carlos Soteldo
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.66, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Llaneros find a way past Aragua
Aragua made Llaneros work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Words exchanged at Llaneros
Victor Rincon and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
The terraces17 Aug 2026
One of their own: Roberto Machis
He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
