Tempers go at Caracas
Michael Covea 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.

Alejandro Murillo is a Caracas player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Sergio Castillo is a Caracas player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Gabriel Savarino comes home
The shirt still fits. Gabriel Savarino is back at Caracas, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

As if he never left: Andres Arango returns
Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Andres Arango is a Caracas player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Still nobody has beaten Caracas
The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Michael Covea runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Caracas find a way past Estudiantes de Caracas
Estudiantes de Caracas made Caracas work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

One of those days for Adrián Fernández
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.51, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
In brief
