Match19 Aug 2026
Monagas out of the cup
Rayo Zuliano ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Nobody could get near Dhylan Castillo
Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Words at Monagas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Felipe Jaramillo 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.

A falling-out at Monagas
Joyce Ossa and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Fernando Ferraresi: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The plan did not have a place for Felipe Jaramillo
Nobody at Monagas is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

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

The manager has not finished forgetting Leandro Rodríguez's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

José Carrasco keeps on missing
Shots: 5, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.
In brief
- Squad A first team debut at 14 for Luis Murillo
- Squad Iván Anderson speaks, and the room listens
