Zamora Fc B — Deportivo Lara, Segunda División

Deportivo Lara moved clear at the summit of the Segunda División with a 2-0 victory over Sapora B in the regular season's 25th round on Saturday evening. The visitors took all three points despite Sapora B controlling more of the ball and registering more attacks overall. M. Alvarez opened the scoring in the 51st minute to give Deportivo Lara the lead they would never relinquish. By then Sapora B had already created enough to feel aggrieved, but football rarely rewards effort alone when finishing is poor. R. Pena doubled the advantage from the penalty spot in the 77th minute, closing the game out before Sapora B could mount any meaningful response. And here's the thing — Sapora B had 127 attacks to Deportivo Lara's 110, yet the visitors punished them when it mattered. The statistics tell a familiar story where possession means little without clinical finishing. Sapora B held 54% of the ball and earned six corners compared to three, but their 127 attacks yielded nothing until the visitors struck twice. Deportivo Lara now sit 17 points clear at the top with 45 points from 22 games, while Sapora B remain fifth with just 28 points. The gap has stretched further, and the hosts are staring at the drop after losing three of their last five fixtures. Spora B's recent form shows a team struggling to find consistency — losses to Yaracuyanos and Atlético El Vigia alongside draws against Ureña and Lara suggest they need to tighten up at the back. Deportivo Lara, meanwhile, have been steady with five matches without defeat in their last five outings.
