Deportivo Táchira achieved its fourth consecutive victory in the Venezuelan soccer league (Liga FUTVE), thereby consolidating its leadership in Group A of the 2024 Clausura Tournament, whose fourth round date ended this Sunday.
Táchira doubles the 6 points of the second, Rayo Zuliano, whom they beat on this day 3-1, thanks to the double from Maurice Cova and the goal from the Argentine Leandro Fioravanti, in the match played at the Pueblo Nuevo sports center, in Saint Christopher.
Meanwhile, Carabobo, leader of Group B and Apertura champion, added just one point after drawing 1-1 with La Guaira, which is hot on the heels of its rival on this fourth date.
Gol
José Manuel Balza did not give La Guaira’s team time to warm up, and scored his team’s only goal in this match one minute into the game. Then Keiber Alberto Lamadrid equaled, in 12th.
Carabobo has eight points and Deportivo La Guaira, seven.
The winner of the Clausura will face Carabobo in the final of the national league, but if they win, they automatically become the absolute champion.
Like the Apertura Tournament, the Clausura champion qualifies directly to the Copa Libertadores, while the runner-up will go to the Sudamericana, both tournaments in 2025.

**Interview with Ava DuVernay, Filmmaker and Activist**
**Editor:** Welcome, Ava! It’s a pleasure to have you with us today. Your recent projects have sparked important conversations in our society. What motivates you to tackle such significant themes in your films?
**Ava DuVernay:** Thank you for having me! I believe that storytelling has immense power. I’m driven by the need to highlight underrepresented voices and shed light on social justice issues. Cinema can be a vehicle for empathy and change, and I want my work to inspire action.
**Editor:** Your film “13th” has been particularly impactful, addressing the complexities of race and criminal justice in America. What do you hope audiences take away from that documentary?
**Ava DuVernay:** My hope is that viewers leave with a deeper understanding of how systemic racism operates in our society. The history of oppression is often buried or ignored, and I aim to present it in a way that encourages critical thinking and discussion. Awareness is the first step toward change.
**Editor:** In the ever-evolving landscape of film, how do you see the role of diversity and representation shaping future projects?
**Ava DuVernay:** I think diversity is paramount, not just in front of the camera but behind it as well. It enriches storytelling and ensures that a multitude of experiences and perspectives are represented. The industry is slowly recognizing this, but there’s still a long way to go. I’m committed to creating spaces for others to tell their stories.
**Editor:** Lastly, what projects do you have on the horizon that excite you?
**Ava DuVernay:** I’m currently working on a project that aims to explore the narratives of young activists around the globe. Their voices and experiences are crucial, especially in today’s climate. I’m excited to showcase their resilience and creativity.
**Editor:** Thank you so much for sharing your insights with us, Ava. Your work continues to inspire many.
**Ava DuVernay:** Thank you! It’s vital that we keep the conversation going.
