Michael Ortega’s The Strongest wins an important victory in the Libertadores

Triverio scored the lone score in the 4th minute of the match played at the 11,000 feet elevation of the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz.

For now, the result keeps ‘Flu’ in first place in group D of the Libertadores with 9 points, while Tigre from La Paz moved up to second place with 6 points, both waiting to see what happens in the game between Peru’s Sporting Cristal and the Argentinian. River plate.

The team led by Argentinian Claudio ‘el Pampa’ Biaggio opened the scoring in minute 4, with a corner kick delivered by Colombian Michael Ortega that Triverio thought was well placed.

In vain was the attempt of the Brazilian goalkeeper Fábio to deflect the ball, which ended up in his goal.

In the 13th minute, Ortega had the option to extend the score for La Paz’s Tigre due to a mistake in the flu defense, although Fábio reacted well this time.

Ortega was most inspired by the ‘tabby’ ranks, as he reached the rivals’ goal at least two more times in the first half of the match, while the tricolor also generated some dangerous plays.

In the first half, Quiroga attempted a shot, but Fábio beat him.

The locals put more pressure in the second half, although their goal failed or they were restrained by the Brazilian goalkeeper.

El Tricolor had a chance to equalize in the 49th minute through a John Kennedy shot that reached Bolivian goalkeeper Guillermo Viscarra.

In the 66th minute, Gabriel Sotomayor outsmarted the Brazilian defense, but missed the second, when his shot bounced off the right post.

A mistake by the newly admitted Jaime Arrascaita in the 73rd minute could cost his side the win.

The team led by Brazilian Fernando Diniz showed a much more attacking game in the last part of the game, although they failed to get over Viscarra’s fence.

At the end of regular time, Fábio became a hero with two shots from Quiroga and Triverio.

Chilean referee Felipe González showed the yellow card to Quiroga, David Braz and Joao Henrique.

On matchday five, Flu River will visit Plate in Buenos Aires and The Strongest will host Sporting Cristal.
