Caracas FC Falls to Botafogo, Ends Sudamericana Campaign
The club closed its continental group stage with a loss on the road after a string of competitive results in both South American and domestic fixtures.
How we reported this
Caracas FC fell 1-3 to Botafogo on May 27 in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, wrapping up a mixed run of results across continental and league play this spring.
The timing matters for local fans because the club balanced early progress in the Sudamericana with steady domestic points that kept it in the Primera División picture through late May. Supporters in Caracas followed the matches closely as the team traveled for away fixtures and hosted others at home grounds.
Matches unfolded against clubs from Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia, with results that showed defensive resilience at times and occasional lapses on the road. The club played its home legs in the capital while facing long trips for the away games listed on the schedule.
Key Results From Recent Weeks
According to ESPN, Caracas FC earned a 2-2 draw at Racing Club on May 21, a 3-2 win at Independiente Petrolero on May 5, and a 1-1 draw at home against Racing Club on April 29.
