CF América 2 - 1 Universidad Católica

 

Scored against in the last minute....deja vu?

 

Silly clearance by your defense. He heads it when he should've cleared it out of the stadium.

 

Nah, that wasn't it: on the play before that, Buljubasich cleared it for a throw in when he should've just booted it forward (and this came from la Cato playing the ball back).

Pero la Cato no se vio para nada mal: quizas haya un rayito de esperanza por ahi para que se metan a la 2nda ronda.

Not sure what led to the 2nd goal, but from the highlights I saw La U's defender head the ball basically to the America player so he can take the shot.

 

And that had come from an avoidable throw-in.

You saw 'La Cato'...'La U' (my team) didn't qualify...

 

I call any team with 'universidad' in the name La U

 

Venezuelan soccer keeps on showing that it's growing

Games between venezuelan and argentinian teams in the las 12 months:
Venezuela: 4-1-1
Argentina: 1-1-4

River 0-1 Caracas
Caracas 3-1 River
Arsenal 1-0 Mineros
Mineros 2-1 Arsenal
Caracas2-0 San Lorenzo
Maracaibo 1-1 Boca

 

Group 1
San Lorenzo 0 - 0 Cruzeiro

 

Group 2
Deportivo Cuenca 0 - 0 Danubio

 

Another bitchslap for San Lorenzo, although Cruzeiro didn't play as good as ion the previous matches, i think so far they are the best looking side from the brazilians.

Meanwhile Arsenal, kinda suffered the same problem of Lanús, although Libertad dominated at first, when they dominated they couldn't get to score and had to sweat a lot to make the difference, anyway Libertad was a strong opponent. Group 8 still looks very tough. Of the argentines, i think Lanús was the best so far.

Atlas scored so it won't be a day full of 0-0's.

 

why do you think it's a good result?

 

Group 3
Atlas 3 - 0 Colo Colo

 

Atlas look pretty good today and Colo Colo looked liked they never got off the bus. Was this just a bad day for Colo Colo or are they also struggling in the league? Are they in a rebuilding process?
