A fracture rules Ángel Borgo out for 79 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Caracas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Caracas up to position 3
27 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Michael Covea runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Age has not caught Robert Hernández yet — 8.60
At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.60 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Wilfred Correa, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.69
A mark of 7.69 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Tempers go at Caracas
Robert Hernández 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.

Caracas count the cost of losing Mauricio Márquez
20 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Words at Caracas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luis Del Pino Mago 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.

Caracas supporters have found a favourite in Lucciano Reinoso
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Lucciano Reinoso 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
- Match Wilfred Correa the difference as Caracas beat Mineros de Guayana
- Market Caracas sign Luis Moreno, one for the future
- Market Caracas sign Juan Arango, one for the future
