The cup run ends for Zamora
0‑0 against Estudiantes de Caracas, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
In brief
