Caracas found their only goal in the 77th minute, while Táchira scored in the ninth and 25th. Both winners kept clean sheets but waited very different lengths of time for a lead: one game stayed level for more than an hour, the other carried an early advantage that grew before half-time. Táchira’s first goal was a penalty, a distinction preserved with the scorers below. The source also presents phase or group standings. Their labels are retained rather than turning a partial phase table into a supposed combined ranking of every Venezuelan club or a final season verdict.
