Caracas FC closed its CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage with a 1-3 defeat to Botafogo on May 27, finishing a sequence that included three other continental matches and two Venezuelan Primera División games.

The timing matters because the results arrived just before the domestic league schedule paused for the mid-year break, giving supporters in Caracas a clear picture of how the side performed across both fronts in the final weeks of the spring campaign.

Matches took place at venues ranging from the Estadio Olímpico in Caracas to away grounds in Argentina and Brazil, with the club drawing support from local fans who follow every update through radio and online streams.

Results from the final stretch

According to the ESPN results page for Caracas FC, the team earned a 2-2 draw at Racing Club on May 21, secured a 2-3 win at Independiente Petrolero on May 5 and a 1-0 home victory over the same opponent on April 15, and split 1-1 draws with Racing Club on April 29 and Zamora FC on April 20 before beating Rayo Zuliano 2-1 at home on April 25. These six matches produced ten points from a possible eighteen across the two competitions.

The source lists every score and competition without exception, confirming the exact dates and opponents that shaped the club’s late-spring record.

Looking ahead after the break

With the league resuming after the current pause, Caracas FC will turn attention to the next block of Primera División fixtures once the calendar restarts, allowing the squad to build on the points already collected in April and May.

Supporters can track the updated schedule on the same ESPN team page that recorded these outcomes, providing the clearest public record of every result from the period.
