Bolivar 4-1 Bollo-Bollo
Bolivar beat Bollo-Bollo 4-1 in the Apertura - 15 round of the Primera División on 15 August 2026. The hosts opened the scoring through B. Arce in the second minute and never looked back, though Bollo-Bollo pulled one back with a late double from B. Miranda. The result keeps Bolivar top of the table with 39 points from 18 games, while the visitors drop to 13th place on 17 points. And here's the thing — Bolivar had already done enough to see out the game before Miranda's late arrival.
Arce gave the hosts an early lead, then Machado doubled the advantage before half-time. D. Romero's penalty was cancelled for offside in the 30th minute, but he got his reward in the 41st minute when the spot-kick stood. M. Cauteruccio added a fourth in the 55th minute to put the result beyond doubt. To be fair, Bollo-Bollo showed spirit in the closing stages, but Bolivar's attack had been too sharp.
Bollo-Bollo's red card to S. Villamil in the 78th minute changed the shape of the final quarter. They had already had Cauteruccio sent off earlier in the match, and now they were down to ten men with minutes to play. Miranda came for a cross he never reached in the 90th minute, then struck again in 90+9, but it was too little, too late. Bolivar switched off at the back late on, but the damage was already done.
The statistics tell you what happened on the pitch. Bolivar had 63% possession, 96 attacks compared to 51, and 12 shots on target against five for the visitors. They created nine big chances and completed 448 passes, while Bollo-Bollo managed only 227 and created zero big chances. Shots accuracy was 44% for Bolivar and 50% for their opponents — but that second figure means nothing when you have five shots on target and concede four goals.
Bolivar remain on top of the standings with a 22-point gap between them and Bollo-Bollo. The visitors have lost 11 of 18 games and sit 17 points off the top. By then, the match was already decided — Bolivar's attack worked a short corner, threw bodies in the way, and ended a barren spell with four goals. Miranda's late double was a footnote in a game that had been over for an hour.
