Match Report

The game started at a high tempo. Oriente took an early lead in the 12th minute when striker Kevin Rojas capitalised on a defensive mix‑up to slot home.

• 75' – Real Potosi’s Jhon Mamani is sent off for a second yellow, reducing the visitors to ten men.

Second Half Drama

Player Spotlight

Álvaro Peña was the difference‑maker. His goal was a moment of individual brilliance, and his pace down the right flank caused constant problems. For the visitors, goalkeeper Carlos Gutiérrez made several smart saves to keep the scoreline respectable.

Youth League Implications

Oriente Petrolero U19 move into second place in the BLN U19 table, just three points behind leaders Bolívar U19. Real Potosi U19 remain in mid‑table but will be disappointed after a promising first‑half performance.
