Lara beat Real Frontera 5-1 in the Segunda División on Friday evening. The hosts took all three points at home in Regular Season round 27. The final score settled the contest early, though the game did not end until the closing stages.
The opening goal came at the six-minute mark. Lara added another at twenty-five before finding two more in quick succession at thirty-two and thirty-seven. Real Frontera's only response arrived at sixty-seven, but the visitors could not find a second to stay in the match. Lara sealed the result at seventy-five.
By then the outcome was never in doubt. The hosts moved further clear of the mid-table pack while the visitors slipped deeper. To be fair, Real Frontera had already been struggling throughout the campaign.
Lara sit second with forty-three points from twenty-four matches. That record includes twelve wins, seven draws and five defeats. Real Frontera occupy ninth place with just eleven points from three wins, two draws and nineteen losses.
The hosts had been finding results harder to come by recently. They lost 1-2 to Deportivo Lara on Wednesday and failed to beat Yaraucyanos at home on the thirtieth of August. Three defeats followed in the weeks before, including a heavy 3-1 reverse against Caracas.
Real Frontera's run has been considerably worse. They lost 2-0 to Zaporozhye B on Wednesday and were beaten 3-0 away to Puerto Cabello II. Four defeats followed without a single goal scored, including a 5-0 thrashing by Zamora.
And here's the thing – this result does not change either team's position materially. Lara remain in the upper half while Real Frontera's situation grows more uncomfortable. The gap between them now stands at thirty-two points.
