Jesús Vega keeps Deportivo Miranda in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Luis Rincon takes charge at Deportivo Miranda
“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

Ruybert Henríquez is a Deportivo Miranda player again
