Wilstermann is relieved. The aviators defeated Independiente Petrolero 1-0 this Sunday. The Brazilian Serginho scored the winning goal in the 81st minute.
This victory will lift the spirits of those led by the Chilean Miguel Ponce, who are now sixth in the group B table and are three units behind the leader, Bolívar.
The match was intense and very complicated for the Cochabamba Reds who officiated at the local Bicentennial stadium in Villa Tunari, population that is approximately 160 kilometers from the capital of Cochabamba.
The game was decided in favor of the Cochabambinos in the final stretch, although he was able to open the scoring at 42′ through Argentine striker Andrés Chávez who missed a penalty kick.
Independiente put up a fight and had opportunities to scratch at least one point. His forwards lacked effectiveness. This defeat leaves him in fifth place in his series and five points behind the leader.
