The Barquisimeto Post
Match23 Jan 2027
Barquisimeto win it in stoppage time
The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 91th minute. Mineros de Guayana will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Benjamin Linarez: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Barquisimeto have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
Player ratings25 Jan 2027
Age has not caught Joel Infante yet — 8.36
At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.36 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Graduation day at Barquisimeto
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

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

The crowd has taken to Diego Landaeta
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

At last: Barquisimeto win one
5 matches without a win, and then this, against Mineros de Guayana. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

One of our own: Miguel Herrera joins the Barquisimeto first team
