Terms done: Gabriel Rosales is going
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Urartu waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Atletico Venezuela is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Sergio Cordova: that is not what I was promised

Oscar Arango was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.54. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Atletico Venezuela settle it inside twenty minutes
2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Estudiantes de Caracas spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Ninety minutes of Rafael Cordova at his very best
