Squad5 Apr 2027

Carlos Arango damages knee ligaments — 69 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 69 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad5 Apr 2027

4 goals for Darwin Rincon

The match ball belongs to Darwin Rincon, whose 4 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A fracture rules Junior Osorio out for 15 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Zulia will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A one-man rearguard from Juan Vegas

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.

Match3 Apr 2027

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 Zulia and Atletico Venezuela in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match3 Apr 2027

Zulia find a way past Atletico Venezuela

Atletico Venezuela made Zulia work for it, but the scoreboard read 4‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Carlos Arango damages knee ligaments — 76 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 76 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market29 Mar 2027

Daniel Martinez asks to leave Zulia

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A fracture rules Junior Osorio out for 22 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Zulia will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A one-man rearguard from Juan Vegas

There were 8 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.

Boardroom29 Mar 2027

The numbers do not look good at Zulia

Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Match27 Mar 2027

6 matches without a win for Zulia

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Zulia are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings29 Mar 2027

Nobody could get near Junior Rincon

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match27 Mar 2027

The goals have deserted Zulia

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Zulia can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Zulia

Alejandro Herrera 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.

Squad22 Mar 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Carlos Arango

84 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zulia lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market22 Mar 2027

Darwin Arango hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Zulia can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Nobody could get near Daniel Martinez

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Junior Osorio breaks a bone — 30 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 30 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match22 Mar 2027

Zulia are in real trouble now

Position 15, 6 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Match20 Mar 2027

No end in sight to Zulia's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Zulia has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Zulia

Jhon Alvarez 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.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Marcos Pedro falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match20 Mar 2027

The goals have deserted Zulia

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Zulia can tell you which week it ends in.
