Yaraquayos took all three points from their trip to Atlético El Vigía, winning 1:0 in the Segunda División Regular Season on Saturday. The match, played on 13 September 2026, ended with the visitors holding on for a narrow away victory that kept them within touching distance of the league leaders.
The decisive moment came late in the game. Y. Colmenarez converted a penalty in the 79th minute to break the deadlock. It was a straightforward finish, and for the remainder of the match El Vigía had to chase the game. To be fair, the home side pressed forward but could not find an equaliser.
Yaraquayos dominated possession with 55 per cent of the ball, while El Vigía managed 45. The visitors also drew more attention from the referee, collecting five yellow cards compared to two for the hosts. Neither side had a red card, though the attacking statistics were not recorded for either team.
Before the result, Yaraquayos sat fourth with 37 points from 25 games, while El Vigía were seventh on 30 points from 26 matches. The win moves the visitors closer to the top four, whereas the home side remain outside the play-off places. And here's the thing — El Vigía have played one more game than their opponents, so they need to win to catch up.
The result ended a run of mixed results for both sides. El Vigía had lost 2:5 to Atlético Barinas on their previous outing, while Yaraquayos suffered a 2:5 defeat to Aragua on the same day. This victory, however, gives the visitors something to build on.
