Yaraquayos Edge Past Saporra B in Late Drama
Yaraquayos secured a 2-1 victory over Saporra B in the Regular Season - 24 of the Segunda División on Saturday evening. The result keeps the hosts in fourth place with 37 points, while Saporra B remain fifth on 31. It was a match decided in the final moments, with Falchetti's 89th-minute strike proving decisive after an eventful contest.
The first half brought immediate tension. Yaraquayos opened the scoring in the 45th minute, only for V. Viez to level for the visitors just two minutes into stoppage time. By then, the pattern was clear — both sides trading blows rather than building sustained pressure. There were no corners recorded for either team, suggesting the play stayed largely in the middle third.
The second half followed a similar rhythm. Yaraquayos retaken the lead in the 72nd minute, but Saporra B responded almost instantly through R. Patino's penalty. And here's the thing about these encounters — they rarely unfold according to plan. Falchetti's late winner came after what had been a frustrating evening for both sides, who struggled to create clear-cut chances.
The statistics told a story of a game played without much fluency. Neither side managed a single corner throughout 90 minutes, while Saporra B earned 20 free kicks compared to Yaraquayos's 11. Two yellow cards were shown to each team, and there were no red cards to alter the dynamic. The visitors threw in 25 times against 24 for the hosts, a marginal difference that barely registered.
In the table, the gap between fourth and fifth remains tight. Yaraquayos move on to 37 points from 23 games, with 10 wins, seven draws and six defeats. Saporra B sit on 31 points with eight victories and eight losses alongside seven draws. The result ends a run of mixed fortunes for the visitors, who have lost two of their last five matches.
For Yaraquayos, this win provides momentum after a recent 2-3 defeat to Caracas. The hosts have now won two and drawn two of their last five outings, showing enough consistency to maintain their position in the upper half. Saporra B, meanwhile, will look to regroup after a third-placed finish would have required more efficiency in front of goal throughout the campaign.
