Without using themselves thoroughly on a tough terrain, with mirrors of water in many sectors due to the rain that fell, the Paraguayan eleven took advantage of the victory (1-4) endorsed by the debutante donor in the Bolivian city of Santa Cruz last week. .
The Bolivian team struggled to keep the ball at the same exit from goalkeeper Gaspar Servio, who returned after being killed by Covid-19, but ran into an orderly and well-squatted rival awaiting the counterattack.
The rain kept the first half from becoming more dynamic, although it mainly highlighted the performance of Bolivian goalkeeper Jorge Arauz, especially in the aerial shots, covering at least two in the first half and an equal amount in the second half.
Servio, the Argentine goalkeeper for the Aurinegro team, also had his moments of inspiration to fend off Honduran Rubilio Castillo after a powerful half-range shot.
