The Atletico Venezuela Sentinel
Match15 Aug 2026
Chastening afternoon for Atletico Venezuela
A 0‑5 beating by Carabobo was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.
Match12 Aug 2026
Atletico Venezuela out of the cup
Deportivo Lara ended it 2‑4. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Both of them David Rincon's — 8.03
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.03, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A one-man rearguard from David Soteldo
There were 7 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.

The ground has had enough
“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 30 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Tempers go at Atletico Venezuela
Fernando Sosa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match12 Aug 2026
6 goals as Atletico Venezuela and Deportivo Lara go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Atletico Venezuela and Deportivo Lara, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

David Rincon attracts admirers
The name of David Rincon has come up in conversations Atletico Venezuela were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Atletico Venezuela supporters have found a favourite in David Rincon
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. David Rincon has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
In brief
