Mineros de Guayana and Aragua share the points in a tight encounter
Mineros de Guayana and Aragua played out a 1-1 draw in the Venezuelan Segunda División on Saturday 23 August. The hosts sit eighth in the table with 19 points, while Aragua occupy fourth with 28 points after another 19 games.
By then the sides had already seen a fair amount of action. Mineros de Guayana were winless in their last five outings, drawing twice and losing three, while Aragua managed just one victory across the same period.
Mineros de Guayana picked up two bookings in five minutes at one point, and the discipline count ended at four yellow cards for the hosts against five for Aragua. The visitors edged the corner count 4-1, though neither side could convert that advantage into a second goal.
The result keeps Aragua within striking distance of the leaders, but they remain a point behind the top side. Mineros de Guayana move closer to the middle of the pack, though they still have a long way to go before they can talk about promotion.
There was nothing to separate the teams on the day, and both sides walked away with a point. The table standings look set to shift when the next round of fixtures is played.
