3‑0, and Sebastián Castillo took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Deportivo La Guaira tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.95 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.
