Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Estudiantes de Caracas rebuffed over Diego Bolaños
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Deportivo Lara have kept their man, and Estudiantes de Caracas go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
