CD Nueva Santa Cruz 2 – 6 Ciudad Nueva Santa Cruz
Bolivian Reserve Cup – July 25, 2026, Kick‑off 21:55

Ciudad Nueva Santa Cruz delivered a stunning attacking display to overwhelm CD Nueva Santa Cruz 6‑2 in a Bolivian Reserve Cup group‑stage match under the floodlights. The visitors ran riot with a devastating second‑half performance that left the home defence in tatters.

Match Overview

The fixture between the two “Nueva Santa Cruz” sides – both based in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra – was expected to be tight, but Ciudad came out with relentless energy. CD Nueva Santa Cruz started well and even took the lead through a penalty converted by Marcelo Ríos in the 12th minute. However, Ciudad responded almost immediately. Striker Jorge “Pato” Fernández equalised with a powerful drive from the edge of the box just five minutes later.

By half‑time, Ciudad had turned the score around to 3‑2, and the second half became a one‑sided affair. Three more goals followed, two of them from substitute winger Kevin Saucedo, who tormented the tiring home full‑backs.

Standout Players

Jorge Fernández was the focal point of Ciudad’s attack, scoring twice and assisting another. But the match belonged to Kevin Saucedo, whose pace and directness off the bench changed the game’s complexion entirely. For CD Nueva Santa Cruz, Marcelo Ríos showed composure from the spot but was otherwise isolated up front.

What This Means

Ciudad Nueva Santa Cruz climb to the top of the Reserve Cup group with a commanding goal difference. The defeat leaves CD Nueva Santa Cruz with work to do, especially defensively, as they conceded six goals on home turf. The reserve cup competition is a key platform for Bolivian youth development, and this result will be a harsh lesson for the home side.
