The match was even throughout the first half, offered options for both teams, and even the ball ended up crashing into the posts. Even so, the first half closed with goalless equality.
Vaca Díez broke the score after an unusual play. Patrick Torelli changed a penalty for a goal, and scored 1-0, but the strange thing was not that, but the referee’s sanction. Gaad Flores who invented the penalty in favor of the Pandinos, since Lucas Raldes reached the coverage early, and won the ball cleanly inside his area.
The arbitration affected the result. Little by little the judge became the protagonist, filling the patience of the coach and the Destroyers players themselves. Many dubious infractions and some actions in which Flores erred in his rulings.
In the final stretch he would get the second after an individual play by Alberto Justiniano. Great movement in solitude to leave the last crossing line in a bad way. The 2-0 was final.
The ‘Cuchuqui’ team could not face Vaca Díez. He showed better performance at times, but he lacked the “last pass” to have options in the one-on-one against goalkeeper César Soria.
The return will be played on Monday, starting at 6:00 p.m. The semifinals are being played in Cochabamba, as is the final. This final stretch of the Simón Bolívar Cup takes place at the Félix Capriles.
