The win extends the Aurinegros’ remarkable run to five consecutive victories in the Cuadrangular B, underlining their dominance in the decisive stage of the Liga FUTVE.
Pollero fires the visitors ahead from the spot
Táchira took the lead in the first half from a penalty. In the 37th minute, Uruguayan forward Rodrigo Pollero stepped up from the spot and converted with composure to beat the Monagas goalkeeper.

From there, Táchira saw out the game without serious scares, recording their fifth win from five matches and strengthening their claim to the title this season.
