Alejandro Rincon breaks a bone — 90 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 90 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Llaneros turn it around against Carabobo
Going 2 down does something to a side, and what it usually does is finish them. Not here. Llaneros rebuilt the afternoon goal by goal, and Carabobo had no answer to any of it.

Both of them Juan Méndez's — 9.00
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.00, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A one-man rearguard from Yeferson Cordova
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Nobody wants to play Llaneros right now
3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Alejandro Rincon 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 Llaneros this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

At 21, Juan Méndez is already the best thing here
An average of 7.00 in a first team he is several years too young for. Llaneros have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Juan Méndez sends Llaneros past Carabobo
It finished 3‑2, and it was Juan Méndez’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Llaneros.

A masterclass from Sebastián González
Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
In brief
- Player ratings Rafael Arango ran the game
- Market Daniel Soteldo leaves for nothing
- Boardroom Llaneros answer back
