A 2-goal lead gone for Llaneros
It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Carabobo kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Llaneros will be asked about the last half hour all week.

A fracture rules Cristian Ramirez out for 23 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Llaneros will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Nobody could get near Oscar Ramirez
Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

No hiding place for Yeferson Osorio
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Yeferson Osorio, and the manager let it.

One of our own: Francisco Otero joins the Llaneros first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Francisco Otero is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
