Deportivo Táchira achieved its fourth consecutive victory in the Venezuelan soccer league (Liga FUTVE), thereby consolidating its leadership in Group A of the 2024 Clausura Tournament, whose fourth round date ended this Sunday.
Táchira doubles the 6 points of the second, Rayo Zuliano, whom they beat on this day 3-1, thanks to the double from Maurice Cova and the goal from the Argentine Leandro Fioravanti, in the match played at the Pueblo Nuevo sports center, in Saint Christopher.
Meanwhile, Carabobo, leader of Group B and Apertura champion, added just one point after drawing 1-1 with La Guaira, which is hot on the heels of its rival on this fourth date.
Gol
José Manuel Balza did not give La Guaira’s team time to warm up, and scored his team’s only goal in this match one minute into the game. Then Keiber Alberto Lamadrid equaled, in 12th.
Carabobo has eight points and Deportivo La Guaira, seven.
The winner of the Clausura will face Carabobo in the final of the national league, but if they win, they automatically become the absolute champion.
Like the Apertura Tournament, the Clausura champion qualifies directly to the Copa Libertadores, while the runner-up will go to the Sudamericana, both tournaments in 2025.
