Blooming is the sole leader of group B of the Apertura tournament of the Professional Division after the victory achieved this Friday against Always Ready by 1-0. The match, corresponding to the seventh date, was played at the Tahuichi Aguilera stadium in Santa Cruz, with Dilio Rodríguez from Chuquisaca arbitrating.
The Santa Cruz academy got the millionaires up early, because just a minute and a half into the game the Uruguayan Fernando Arismendi made it 1-0.
The opening of the scoreboard came after a long shot by Nahuel Irribarren that reached the rival area where Arismendi anticipated the late departure of goalkeeper Lucas Galarza, who ended up colliding with the striker, but could not prevent the fall of his goal.
Blooming took advantage of the emotional blow and he played better, he was superior and was able to increase the difference, but he wasted some opportunities, like in the 16th minute when Santos Navarro did not know how to define well when he was left alone in front of the goalkeeper.
Those led by Rodrigo Venegas forgave in the first half to a team that is still outside the classification zone and that this time showed deficiencies in the defensive zone.
In the complement both teams lowered their performance, Even so, the locals continued to be superior, but without being able to convert the second goal that would have given them peace of mind, although they did not lack opportunities.
Arismendi could have scored a double after a good combination with Junior Sánchez, but His shot went almost kissing the left post of the goal defended by Galarza. Later, at 73, the Uruguayan would be replaced by Paul Arano.
In the end, the Santa Cruz squad respected their house and reaches 16 points, three more than Bolívar, who now has one less game.
