Mineros lost 3-0 at Llaneros de Guanare in round seven but responded in the latest round to stay within three points of league leaders Zamora.
Orlando Cordero scored the decisive goal for Mineros against Carabobo, converting the rebound after Angelo Pena's initial shot was parried by visiting goalkeeper Jose Leonardo Morales.
