The cup run ends for Academia Puerto Cabello
0‑1 against Portuguesa, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Gerardo Padrón is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Academia Puerto Cabello is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Robinson Flores wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Words at Academia Puerto Cabello training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Geremías Meléndez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Junior Moreno 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 Academia Puerto Cabello this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Jean Franco Castillo beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Luis Martinez left the room before anybody could ask which.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Diego Osorio
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
