Saporas beat Real Frontera 2-0 in the Venezuelan Cup, Round 1 - Group B on Tuesday evening. The visitors took two points out of the away fixture, while the hosts remain winless after three matches.

The statistics tell you something about the game. Real Frontera had 55 per cent possession but managed only six shots on target from thirty total attempts. Saporas were more clinical, hitting 42 per cent accuracy with five efforts on goal. The hosts had ten shots off target — a lot of wasted energy.
