Portuguesa Extend Their Remarkable Run of Draws in the Venezuela Primera División

The kings of draws of the Venezuela Primera División, Portuguesa, still refuse to be beaten! They racked up their ninth stalemate in just thirteen games, this time against Hermanos Colmenarez on Friday, and it depends on whether you are a glass half-full or half-empty type of person to determine whether you think that unbeaten run is positive or not. In fairness to Los Rojinegros, they did everything they could to win this game at Estadio General José Antonio Paez – firing in 17 shots at goal and winning the corner count, but Alessandro Canales’ 27th minute goal was all they had to show for their efforts. Hermanos Colmenarez had taken the lead in the 18th minute through Camilo Zapata, and despite failing to win the team– only founded in 2015, with two promotions to the top-tier since – continue to overachieve. This was a fifth straight draw in what is becoming an increasingly bizarre season for Portuguesa.
