Match20 Feb 2030

Metropolitanos through in the cup

A 2‑1 win over Estudiantes de Merida, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad25 Feb 2030

Javier Bravo keeps Metropolitanos in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match23 Feb 2030

Still nobody has beaten Metropolitanos

The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad25 Feb 2030

Tempers go at Metropolitanos

Robert Garcés 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.

Match23 Feb 2030

Dario Bordón the difference as Metropolitanos beat Mineros de Guayana

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Dario Bordón. 3‑2 against Mineros de Guayana, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings25 Feb 2030

One of those days for Manuel Sulbarán

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.06, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad25 Feb 2030

No hiding place for Richard Figueroa

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Richard Figueroa, and the manager let it.

Player ratings25 Feb 2030

A masterclass from Dario Bordón

Marked 8.82 — 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.

A masterclass from Héctor Bello

Marked 8.77 — 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Player ratings28 Jan 2030

Saimon Ramírez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings28 Jan 2030

Nothing got past Diego Reyes

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 27 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Tempers go at Metropolitanos

Richard Figueroa 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.

One of those days for Manuel Sulbarán

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.09, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match26 Jan 2030

Metropolitanos get the job done against Deportivo Lara

A 1‑0 win over Deportivo Lara, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Stiven Rentería gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings28 Jan 2030

George Ayine shuts the door

Defensive actions: 16, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Daniel Machis stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Daniel Machis and Metropolitanos agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad28 Jan 2030

Manuel Sulbarán finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Metropolitanos have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
