Carabobo take on yet another challenge as they look to find their way out of the bottom of Grupo Central & relegation danger.
Deportivo Lara, meanwhile, can make a run at 3rd or 4th place with a win after a mixed series of results in July. #FutVe
5': GOOOOOOOL! ⚽️
Santiago Rodríguez strikes early and Carabobo take an early lead! It could be a huge goal for the club as they fight to avoid relegation.
Lara have scored countless goals this season, but today they trail 1-0! #FutVe
39': Lara have begun to press for a goal but Carabobo remain in the lead. There's also two dogs running around the pitch. 1-0. #FutVe
HT: Carabobo reach half time with a slim 1-0 lead over Deportivo Lara via an early Rodríguez goal. If the result holds, it would hand Carabobo a vital win early in the second half of the season. #FutVe
52': Carabobo argue for a penalty but the referee decides the late challenge from Lara goalkeeper Luis Curiel is not a foul. 1-0, Carabobo. #FutVe
57': Yolfran Caricote receives a second yellow and is sent off with a red, leaving Carabobo down to 10 men after he pulled down Ruben Rojas. 1-0, Carabobo. #FutVe
75': GOOOOOOOOOL! ⚽️⚽️
Yeangel Montero goes one on one with the keeper and slots in a second goal for Carabobo! Grupo Central's bottom side now have a 2-0 lead that catapults them to 5th place.
Carabobo are down to ten men but remain strong performers tonight. #FutVe
85': Curiel is sent off for handling the ball outside of the box, leaving Manzano to replace the keeper for the last few minutes of the match. Both sides are down to ten men and Copa America star Bernaldo Manzano is suddenly a goalkeeper. 2-0. #FutVe
FT: Manzano makes a nice cameo as keeper, but Carabobo's 2 goals prior to Curiel's sending off give them an important 2-0 win and lifts them out of relegation.
The cameras catch fans cheering on the team from outside of the stadium. An uplifting night for Carabobo FC. #FutVe
A #FutVe note: Tonight was Lara's first game since the signing of Jesús Bueno by the Philadelphia Union was confirmed. It's not an encouraging start for Lara after losing their star youngster.

The FUTVE English Team of the Month|🗓 July 2021 - Thread|
UCV and Deportivo La Guaira dominate our XI with Daniel Sasso’s superb effect on UCV securing him our Manager of the Month award. Results from 01/08 were included for consideration. #futve
UCV had kept just one clean sheet before July, now they’ve kept five. Forero has been fantastic between the sticks, denying Lala, Metro, Mineros, and Monagas. Only group leaders Caracas have breached his net. Captain fantastic. #futve
Kaki is the perfect blend of style and substance in the Caracas defence and marked his July with 1 goal, 1 clean sheet, and two performances considered by InStat as in the best 25 of the week. He’s the 3° highest rated CB in the league. #futve
Hermanos and Estudiantes meet once again as both look to secure a top four finish this season & stave off Zamora.
Both sides have handed the other big losses this season, with Hermanos winning 4-2 and Estudiantes winning 6-2. #FutVe
17': GOOOOOOOL! ⚽️
Edson Rivas runs on to a strong but loose pass into the box and slots home the opener to make it 1-0 for Estudiantes de Mérida!
The young striker continues his strong 2021 season and gives the visitors the advantage in a must-win match. #FutVe
27': GOOOOOOOL! ⚽️
Oh my word. Zapata splits the Estudiantes back line with a back heel pass which finds Antonio Romero, who slots it past the keeper to equalize for Hermanos Colmenárez!
It's a stylish goal to make up for a poor defensive moment earlier in the half. 1-1. #FutVe
An early penalty save for Real Frontera’s Rafael Castrillo keeps things interesting as Real Frontera wins 1-0 thanks to a 90th minute goal from Heiber Diaz.
Alexis Vargas scores for Llaneros but Ureña come back late and win 2-1 with goals from Carl Villasmil and new signing, on loan from Deportivo Táchira, Jesús Orozco.
Orozco with a goal and an assist on his debut. #LigaFutVe2

Arace rises high to meet a cross from a free kick and rockets in an absolutely beautiful header into the far corner to give Aragua the lead!
Aragua have a vital lead and, if it holds, are out of the relegation spot. 1-0, Aragua. #FutVe
