The final phase of the Opening 2025 Tournament of the Futve League started, and as if it were a “safe” place for Carabobo, the “garnet” showed how to play this instance by winning on day 1 of the B-to Metropolitan home run, 1-3 in the UCV Olympic stadium.
In the reissue, the final of the Opening Tournament of a year earlier, the “violet” wanted to demonstrate that the win made in the regular stage (3-0) to the “garnet” was no accident, although the first approaches were of the visit, with an attempt by the Colombian Joshuan Berríos, which the goalkeeper Luis Terán stopped at 10 ‘, while at 18’ he was warned of a shot at medium distance, which he stopped without problems.
Important figures

And in fact, at 26 ‘, the capital striker touched with the double, when shooting medium distance and the ball passes near the arch, and Metropolitanos was close to giving Carabobo a Knockout, but those of Valencia did not lower their arms.
And it was one of his offensive figures, Cristian Cañozales, who headed the operation “Tour of the Party”. The Colombian turned on his “cannon” to 42 ‘, with a strong shot that went over the Terán arch, but at 45’, a hand in the area of the Neographic defender Eduardo Zapata was decreed penalty, which could meet the initial objective of the eleven led by the Spanish Diego Merino.

After the advantage of Carabobo, the ambition of Metropolitanos grew to get now, the draw and rescue units at home.
But time passed and despite making all the modifications, the side of the Uruguayan Roland Marcenaro failed to react. Jayson Martínez entered and tried to air and speed, same modus operandi of the Colombian Felipe Cifuentes, but Carabobo kept order, calm and knew that a new opportunity was going to be.
Cañozales was able to sentence the actions previously, but completed its double at 90+4 ‘after an attempt by Metropolitanos that González rejected, and that action caused the ball to fall on the neogranadino booties before half of the court, so he toured half of the court, reached the area and defined in front of Terán, the final 1-3.
