Match report
Home side held on after own-goal twist
Deportivo Táchira and Puerto Cabello shared the points in a 1-1 draw during the tenth matchday of the Clausura. The hosts took the lead through E. Pernia in the twenty-fourth minute, only for the visitors to equalise when J. Velasquez bundled a Valentin Adamo effort into his own net in the seventy-first. Pernia, his own teammate, came off at the same time and was replaced by D. Alfonzo in the closing stages. The hosts had 58 per cent possession and 105 passes into the final third, but only created no big chances. Puerto Cabello, meanwhile, managed two big chances and kept their goalkeeper busy with seven saves.
The result leaves Deportivo Táchira second on 44 points from 23 games, while Puerto Cabello remain eighth with 33. The hosts had lost their previous outing 2-0 at Estudiantes de Mérida and this draw ended a run of only one point from three matches. The visitors, who drew 1-1 with Real Esport earlier in September, moved closer to a top-half finish with a point earned away from home.
I had predicted a home victory at fifty per cent confidence. The match went another way, and the turning point came when the equaliser arrived via an own goal rather than a clear chance. The visitors created more opportunities, and Puerto Cabello took them.
