CD Municipal Tarija secured a hard‑earned 2–1 victory away at García Agreda in the Bolivian Reserve Cup on the night of 1 June 2026. The result sees Tarija maintain their push for the knockout stages, while García Agreda – despite a spirited second‑half performance – remain anchored in the lower half of the group standings.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, the visitors showed greater urgency and cohesion. Tarija’s pressing game unsettled the García Agreda defence, and it took only 12 minutes for the breakthrough to arrive. A well‑worked corner routine saw the Tarija centre‑back rise highest to head into the net. The away side doubled their lead just before the half‑hour mark when a swift counter‑attack ended with a clinical finish from the edge of the area.

García Agreda, to their credit, refused to fold. They reorganised at half‑time and came out with renewed energy, pulling a goal back in the 58th minute through a scrappy close‑range effort after a corner was only partially cleared. The home side pushed hard for an equaliser, creating several half‑chances, but Tarija’s backline stood firm in the final quarter of the match.
