Goals, HT, & FT tweets only. ⬇️ ImageImage
HT: Zulia 0-2 Estudiantes|

The men from Merida lead by two at the break thanks to a 3º strike from Ayrton Páez, which was then doubled by Danny Santoya. At 0-1, Zulia captain Junior Paredes had a penalty saved by Alejandro Araque. This puts them 6pts ahead of Portuguesa. #futve
With just over 20 minutes left, the score is 1-2. Yanowsky Reyes halved the deficit with Zulia’s first goal of the afternoon in the 59°. Estudiantes will be desperate to keep hold of the lead and tighten their grip on 2º and thus a place in the ‘Hexagonal A’.
FT: Zulia FC 1-2 Estudiantes|

Estudiantes widen the gap between them and 3º place Portuguesa to six, having played a game more. Zulia remain 2 points behind Hermanos Colmenarez in 4° (the last place to give qualification to the ‘Hexagonal B’). A huge result in general. #futve

The FUTVE English Team of the Month
🗓 September 2021 (Thread 1/13)

🔝A teenage sensation, a FUTVE veteran, and everything in between!

🏅Deportivo Lara feature heavily as they zoomed up their group table!

🔜Look out for our Goal of the Month video out this week!

The XI: Image
GK: Luis Curiel
- @DeportivoLara

Lara started the month closer to relegation than Libertadores qualification. Two clean sheets and an unbeaten September has changed that entirely. Throughout, Curiel was superb, particularly against Carabobo and Aragua. #futve 2/13 Image
RB: Francisco Uviedo
- @HnosColmenarez

Unbeaten in September (WDWD) with a goal and clean sheet to his name, the right back has been a key figure in the Barinas’ club ultra attacking and vertical football. He impressed strongly against Estudiantes and Zamora. #futve 3/13 Image

Hermanos Colmenárez ⚔️ Zamora

It’s a battle for Barinas as Hermanos host Zamora with a 4th place finish and #Sudamericana football on the line.

A win or draw keeps Hermanos in 4th, but Zamora could leap into Hexagonal B contention with a win. #FutVe ImageImage
7': No early goals as a greatly important match up takes place in Barinas tonight. A result for the home side could prove a huge moment for the newly promoted club. 0-0. #FutVe
15': GOOOOOOOOOOL! ⚽️

Richard Figueroa sneaks around the Hermanos' backline and taps in the opener to give Zamora the lead!

Zamora take 4th place, for now, and Hermanos are left with a lot on the line. 1-0. #FutVe

|Deportivo La Guaira vs. Yaracuyanos|
- Match Thread

It’s top versus bottom in the Grupo Central, the reigning champions against a team who now face relegation if they cannot turn the tide. They’re 4 points adrift with a game in hand. Kick off is in 5. #futve ImageImage
11': It's is goalless at El Olimpico so far. La Guaira have the Argentine Mario Santilli in goal with recently called up Carlos Olses on the bench. Fellow call ups Adrian Martinez and Francisco La Mantia partner each other at centre back. Yaracuyanos have their work cut out. 0-0.
12': Dany Cure demonstrates the ability that meant La Guaira were keen to bring him back to Venezuela after two and a bit years abroad (🇧🇴🇦🇷🇺🇾). He shuffles in the box to work himself a chance but cant keep his shot down. 0-0. #futve

In 2016 and 2017, Daniuska Rodríguez and then Deyna Castellanos finished 3º in The FIFA Puskas Award. 🏆

But did you know that the Hungarian striker the prize is named after, Ferenc Puskas, played two games in Venezuela in 1957 despite a FIFA ban? 🇻🇪

(Thread ⬇️) ImageImageImage
At the time, Puskas was playing for Honved 🇭🇺, a team he had won 5 league titles with, finishing top scorer 4 times. They were considered one of the best clubs in Europe and were touring countries such as England, Spain, and Italy when they received an invitation from Brazil. Image
It was to be a ten-match, six-week tour of Brazil, worth $10,000 per game, but with the recent defection in Switzerland of the entire Hungary U21 team, the Hungarian FA denied Honved permission to travel to Brazil.

They decided to continue with plans to go anyway. Image

|Caracas vs. Metropolitanos|
- Match Thread

For the second consecutive day, FUTVE English will be reporting live from El Olímpico. Yesterday, hosts UCV FC beat Atletico Venezuela 4-0. Today, a repeat result would be crushing for Metropolitanos, who still harbour hopes of 2º. Image
There is zero let up from Head Coach Noel Sanvicente who sends out his strongest possible XI. Their place in the ‘Hexagonal A’ is secure but it’s evident they have no plans on stalling their momentum by choice. That front three should be feared. #futve Image
Metropolitanos, on the other hand, are without Abraham Bahachille. He isn’t even on the bench. Considering he was listed in the national team’s preliminary squad yesterday, we’re not sure why. Robinson Flores is also entirely absent. In-form Irwin Anton remains up front. #futve Image

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

🧵See our selection in full!⬇️
Goalkeeper: Álvaro Forero
- @UCVFCOFICIAL

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
Defender: Kaki Rivero
- @Caracas_FC

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
