Estrella U13-1 Lose 3-2 At Home To S.V. Caiquetio In Thrilling League Clash

Estrella U13-1 hosted S.V. Caiquetio at SV Estrella on the morning of 9 November 2025, with kick-off at 9:00am in a league fixture. The 60-minute contest, played under the watchful eye of referee Johan Marquez, ended in a narrow 3-2 defeat for the home side.

Estrella lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, deploying a back four of Samuel Becerra-Valor at right back, Thiel Maxwell and Wilson Just-Shue as central defenders, and Rodriguez Iszair on the left. The midfield trio consisted of Lindomar jr Kock on the right, Kock Maeyson centrally, and Aalrick Koolman on the left, tasked with both defensive duties and supporting the attack. Up front, Jerold Matos operated on the right wing, Raizell Howell led the line as striker, and Kock Jayden featured on the left wing. The substitutes available were Ilay Howell, Julius Croes, Pieter Gaviria-Mendoza, Monzon Daniel, and Daniel de-la-Cruz-Diaz.

The match began with both sides probing for openings, but it was S.V. Caiquetio who struck first, breaking the deadlock in the 26th minute. Their early goal put Estrella on the back foot as they sought to regain control. The first half concluded at the 30-minute mark with the visitors leading.

Shortly after the restart, S.V. Caiquetio doubled their advantage in the 39th minute, intensifying the pressure on Estrella. In response, Estrella made a tactical substitution at the 40th minute, bringing on Ilay Howell for Kock Jayden to inject fresh impetus on the left flank. Five minutes later, another change saw Julius Croes replace Rodriguez Iszair at left back, aiming to shore up the defence.

The tactical reshuffle continued early in the second half with two substitutions at the 49th minute: Pieter Gaviria-Mendoza came on for Samuel Becerra-Valor at right back, and Monzon Daniel replaced Jerold Matos as the last tactical chance of coach Lindomar Kock. These changes sought to revitalise Estrella’s attacking and defensive balance.

Estrella’s persistence paid off in the 51st minute when Raizell Howell found the net from close range inside the box, expertly finishing with his right foot following a neat short pass from central midfielder Kock Maeyson. This goal reignited Estrella’s hopes and brought them back into the contest.

However, the home side’s left midfielder, Aalrick Koolman, was shown a yellow card in the 54th minute for an unspecified offence, which disrupted Estrella’s rhythm. Koolman was promptly substituted a minute later, with Daniel de-la-Cruz-Diaz coming on to maintain midfield stability.

Estrella continued to press and were rewarded again in the 59th minute as Raizell Howell doubled his tally. He capitalised on a short pass from defender Thiel Maxwell and slotted the ball home from close range inside the box with his right foot, levelling the score and setting up a tense finale.

The visitors restored their lead in the 63rd minute through a penalty, edging S.V. Caiquetio ahead once more. Despite Estrella’s efforts to find an equaliser in the remaining minutes, the match concluded 3-2 in favour of the visitors.

Estrella U13-1 showed resilience and attacking intent throughout the match, particularly through Raizell Howell’s clinical finishing. Nonetheless, S.V. Caiquetio’s early goals and decisive penalty proved the difference in a closely contested league encounter at SV Estrella.
