A one-man rearguard from Cristopher Varela
There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Salomon Murillo steps up from the Carabobo academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Salomon Murillo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
