The technical director of Oriente Petrolero. Erwin Sánchez is obliged to move his starting team for the match with Bolívar to be played this Thursday (8:00 p.m.), at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz. Regarding the eleventh that he presented in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Apertura tournament, will not be able to count on Juan Salvador Mercado.
The player accumulated his fifth yellow card on Sunday, in the 1-0 victory against the La Paz academy and for this reason a match was automatically suspended.
With this loss, the refiners lose a man of record and a good taker of the ball, something they will need a lot playing as visitors. Por now, it has not yet been confirmed who will occupy that position.
Another that cannot be taken into account when visiting Bolívar is the archer Bruno Rivas, who was expelled on Sunday Being on the substitute bench, therefore, it is assumed that the young goalkeeper Paolo García will travel to La Paz in case he is required, since the undisputed starter in this position is Wilson Quiñónez.
Something that gives peace of mind in the albiverde camp is that Alexis Ribera and Miguel Ríos are recovered of the blows they suffered during the first leg match with the La Paz academy. If the DT requires them, they are available to be taken into account for the rematch.
The cruise team you need to draw or win in the seat of government to qualify directly for the semi-finals. If he loses by one goal difference, there will be penalties to define the semifinalist, but if Bolívar wins by two or more goals difference, he will get the ticket to the next phase.
The delegation of Oriente Petrolero will travel to La Paz this Thursday in the afternoon, just a few hours before the match.
