Those directed by Claudio Biaggio, who made his debut in his second cycle as DT of the tabby team, looked for the second goal as soon as possible and almost reached 23 minutes, when Enrique Triverio faced Arauz alone, but the goalkeeper emerged victorious and prevented his goal from falling .
In the second half, The Strongest kept insisting to try to extend the score, but the Montereños did not give up and apart from neutralizing some of the local plays, they also encouraged themselves to come out and disturb the La Paz defense.
What the red team lacked, led by Miguel Ángel Portugal, It was not failing on the last pass, because it went well up to three quarters of the field, but from then on he could not string together good plays, since The Strongest’s defense was solid.
In the 89th minute Triverio managed to score a goal which, immediately, was annulled by the Tarija referee Nelson Barro due to the advanced position of the author of the goal and the match ended 1-0.
