Integracion Del Norte San Juan 1–0 Ciudad Nueva Santa Cruz | Bolivian Reserve Cup – 20 June 2026

In a tightly fought Bolivian Reserve Cup group‑stage match, Integracion Del Norte San Juan claimed a narrow 1‑0 victory over Ciudad Nueva Santa Cruz on 20 June 2026. The result keeps Integracion in contention for a knockout‑round berth, while Ciudad Nueva face a steep uphill climb in the competition.

Match Summary

The game took place at the Estadio Municipal de San Juan, where the young squads of both clubs showcased plenty of energy but limited finishing quality in the opening half. The deadlock was broken eight minutes after the restart. A corner from the left by Álvaro Mamani was met powerfully at the near post by centre‑back Diego Quispe, who directed his header into the bottom corner.

Ciudad Nueva Santa Cruz pushed for an equaliser in the final 25 minutes, but Integracion’s goalkeeper Rodrigo Vaca produced several key saves, most notably a flying stop from a long‑range drive by substitute Kevin Ruiz in the 78th minute. The clean sheet was Integracion’s second in the group stage.

Key Players

Quispe’s goal was his second of the Reserve Cup campaign and underlined his growing reputation as an attacking threat from set pieces. Vaca, meanwhile, earned the man‑of‑the‑match award for his composed performance under pressure. For Ciudad Nueva, winger Jhonatan Rojas was lively but lacked support in the final third.

Competition Context

The Bolivian Reserve Cup serves as a vital development tournament for the country’s top clubs, giving young players regular competitive minutes. Integracion Del Norte San Juan now have four points from three matches, level with group leaders The Strongest Reserves. Ciudad Nueva Santa Cruz remain bottom of the group with two points, and their chance of advancing appears slim unless they can win both remaining games.

The result also highlights the improving defensive organisation of Integracion’s reserve side, which has conceded only twice in three outings. Coach Marcelo Gutiérrez will hope his young team can build on this momentum when they travel to face Universitario de Sucre’s reserves next week.
