The local team had a lot of order and aggressiveness in the first half. The Tarijeños opened the scoring at minute 9 with a good play down the right wing, a center by Jefferson Santos so that Mauricio Chajtur will push the ball and score the partial 1-0.
Tomayapo managed to score a goal at minute 13, but the VAR denied Dustin Maldonado happiness for a hand in the play prior to the outcome.
From there, Real Santa Cruz began to respond. Foreigners Dorny Romero and Jayro Jean led the comeback in that same first stage.
At 20′ Dorny pushed the ball into an unguarded goal, after a run by Jean and a bad start by goalkeeper Galindo.
Jayro himself was present, this time to make it 1-2 at 32′. A long ball from César ‘Danco’ García left the Haitian alone, and he evaded the goalkeeper.
The second half was even. The locals gradually approached Sebastián Angulo’s goal, but without efficiency or accuracy. Real Santa Cruz played with a lot of dedication and discipline.
Tomayapo even had some clear options, such as Caicedo’s header in the 86th minute. The striker rose, Angulo took the cut and they collided in the air. The central judge of the match spoke with the VAR and awaited the review of the play for a possible penalty.
The tension rose for a couple of minutes, but everything came to nothing. The VAR decided to give continuity to the last minutes of the match, which ended without major news or surprises.
Great victory for Andrés Marinangeli’s team, who did not train during the week for the strike they entered to claim owed wages.
