The San José box paid dearly for the inexperience and lack of physical rest of its players, and succumbed to a Palmaflor that, although it was effective in the goals, was nothing more than the blue “V” box that showed a good approach in much of the game, but that was not enough to sustain the meeting that in the end was for the visit by 3 to 1.
The match, rescheduled from the first date, was played yesterday afternoon at the “Jesús Bermúdez” stadium, in front of some 4 thousand people who gathered to see the blue “V” box, which this March 19 he turned 79 years of life.
The game, in the first half, was almost a net domain of the San José squad before an abundant Municipal Vinto team that underestimated the young cast presented by Thiago Leitao. At the feet of William Velasco and Boris Condori the best chances of the Orureño team were generated.
Palmaflor had the position of the ball, but he did not face with force on the goal of Osvaldo Nova who in the first half was just another spectator. The Saints made good use of the outings on the wings and that is how in the 22nd minute, in one of the many escapes on the left side, they generated a precise center for Mauricio Bilbao, with a forceful header, to overcome the resistance of Gustavo Salvatierra.
The visit reacted at the end of the first half with a free kick shot executed by Maximiliano Gómez that crashed the ball in the upper right corner of Nova’s goal, it was Palmaflor’s best move, against the blow San José was able to increase figures with a Bilbao’s new head that Adalid Terrazas took over the line.
In the second half, Palmaflor coach Julio Cesar Baldivieso almost completely changed his scheme with four changes: Ricardo Noir, Jaime Santos, Oswaldo Blanco and Iván Vidaurre. This gave more offensive power to the “tricolor” box, but still did not achieve the respective forcefulness.
A key moment of the match was when William Velasco suffered a foul in the midfield that the referee Marcelo Castro did not charge and Pedro Azogue almost made the tie, Velasco was injured and San José lost his balance in the midfield.
Palmaflor also favored the entry of Edwin Ribera who gave him greater mobility on the wings, it was precisely Noir who sent a cross from the right for Vladimir Castellón to score the tying goal at minute 68.
San José changed its scheme with the entry of Jasson Fernández, Rodrigo Delgadillo and Ricardo Fernández, fatigue and lack of experience caused some errors at the start that were well used by the rivals, at minute 73 the referee charges a penalty, quite doubtful, against the Colombian Oswaldo Blanco who is changed for a goal by Jaime Santos.
In 85 the figure of Oswaldo Blanco again appeared to specify the figures in favor of the visit by 3 to 1, San José also lost Jasson Fernández who saw the red directly before the angry claim of the fans for the bad arbitration of Castro.
