Deportivo La Guaira started their season with an impressive 2-0 home win over Monagas SC in the Venezuela Primera Division on February 1, 2026. The hosts controlled the match at the Estadio Olímpico de la UCV from start to finish. La Guaira took the lead midway through the first half with a well-worked team goal and doubled their advantage early in the second period from a corner kick. Monagas SC struggled to gain a foothold in the game and rarely tested the La Guaira goalkeeper. The clean sheet and three points provided an ideal platform for La Guaira's season. The La Guaira manager praised his team's concentration and execution, while the Monagas coach admitted his side was second best on the day and needs to improve quickly.
