The Strongest lost by the slightest difference with Aurora (1-0) and was nine points behind the leader Bolívar, this Sunday night at the Félix Capriles stadium in Cochabamba within the framework of date 22 of the Clausura tournament.
The only goal of the match was the work of Renny Simisterra in the first minute of the second half (46′) and with this his team consolidated itself in third place in the Accumulated Table with 50 points to continue in qualification positions for the Copa Libertadores of America 2025.
El Tigre, who faced Aurora already knowing of the Academy’s victory over Nacional Potosí at the Hernando Siles (5-3), could not be effective in converting and remains second in the Clausura table with 39 points, nine behind Bolívar (48).
However, the stronguista team has one less game than the celestial team and this gives them a slight respite to continue in the fight for the title.
The match, which was the second of the day at Capriles – the first was between Universitario de Vinto and Always Ready – was quite entertaining, as both teams looked for the goal and created several dangerous chances.
The brindle team was the first to try with a weak shot by Sebastián Guerrero that David Aklogue blocked without problems (8′).
The local response came at 10′ with Jair Reinoso, who gained position from Adrián Jusino to kick and Guillermo Viscarra covered him with his face.
The attacks continued on both goals, but as the minutes passed, Reinoso began to be the most dangerous man, as happened with his deflected shot at 21′.
In a corner kick that seemed to have no danger, Enrique Triverio barely headed the ball and it hit the crossbar (34′).
Near the end of the first half (48′) there was another crossbar, but this time in the tiger’s goal, as the goalkeeper denied Reinoso’s powerful shot the goal.
In the first minute of the second half (46′) the scoring opened with Simisterra, who on the right wing surpassed his rival’s mark, hooked and kicked with his left foot to Viscarra’s post, who could not deflect the ball.
The town team was very close to 2-0 with David Robles, whose shot, which went between the shoulder and the arm, crashed into the post.
As the minutes passed, the brindle team, driven by the need to tie the game and not stop adding to continue in the fight for the Clausura title, attacked more, but without enough effectiveness to convert.
At 83′ he had a free kick that Michael Ortega tried, but the ball went into the sky.
The minutes passed and the tiger’s desperation was evident in trying to reach the goal, until at 95′ they were left with 10 men due to the expulsion of Gabriel Sotomayor.
