Match report
Trujillanos beat Monagas 3:1 in the first division on Saturday evening. It was their first victory in the Clausura stage after thirteen games without a win. Monagas had arrived with momentum from their 3:1 victory over Bolivar in their previous outing.
F. Gonzalez opened the scoring at the twenty-fourth minute, giving the hosts an early advantage. Monagas fought back through R. Rodriguez who equalised at the sixtieth minute. The visitors dominated possession at 55 per cent and attempted more attacks, but Trujillanos held their shape.
And here's the thing about moments like these. L. Mosquera restored the lead at the sixty-ninth minute, and J. Paredes sealed it at the seventy-fourth. The goal difference shifted from -5 to -4 for Trujillanos, while Monagas dropped further behind in their pursuit of stability.
Statistics told a familiar story. Monagas completed 342 passes compared to 266, and pushed 265 into the opposition half versus 214. Yet shots accuracy was identical at fifty percent for both sides, and each created two big chances. The extra quality in the final third made the difference.
Trujillanos remain fourteenth with just four points from thirteen matches. Monagas sit twelfth on eleven points, still searching for consistency after eight defeats. The result ended Monagas' run of three games without a loss and gave Trujillanos something to build on.
