Guabirá put three goals past Real Tomayapo in the Primera División's Apertura round thirteen, closing the fixture 3:0 on Wednesday evening at their home ground. The result moves the hosts up to sixth place with twenty-six points from eighteen matches, while the visitors drop to fourteenth on sixteen points. To be fair, the scoreline reflected a game where one side controlled territory and the other simply tried to survive.
Guabirá took the lead just before the break when G. Peredo found the net in the forty-fourth minute. The visitors had already been whistled for a yellow card by Pablo Melgar in the twenty-eighth, but the real turning point came after the interval. V. Galvez saw red in the fifty-eighth minute, and J. Ribera followed suit twelve minutes later. By then, the visitors were playing with ten men and the match had turned into a fixture where Guabirá kept knocking on the door.
S. Garzon restored the two-goal cushion in the sixty-eighth minute, and Pedro added the third in the seventy-fourth. The visitors' goalkeeper made three saves but could not stop the flow of attacks. Guabirá had six shots on target with six off target, while Real Tomayapo managed only one shot on target from three attempts. Things came to a head when the visitors' defensive structure collapsed under sustained pressure.
The statistics tell the fuller story. Guabirá dominated possession at sixty-three percent and launched eighty attacks compared to the visitors' forty-five. They created three big chances and completed two hundred and twenty-one passes into the opposition half. Real Tomayapo managed only twenty passes into the final third and lost thirteen aerial duels to nine. The visitors' shots accuracy sat at seventeen percent, which is barely enough to test a goalkeeper.
What the result means is straightforward. Guabirá extended their unbeaten run across five matches, having drawn with Universitario de Vinoto and Real Tomayapo's opponents, AB B, on their most recent outings. Real Tomayapo's losing streak continues, with defeats against Nacional Potosí and Bluming among their last five outings. At this stage of the Apertura, the gap between sixth and fourteenth is already twenty-two points, and the visitors have work to do if they want to avoid the relegation conversation.
