Guabirá defeated Real Oruro 4:1 in the Group Stage-2 fixture of the Professional Division Cup on Friday evening. The hosts took control after a penalty strike from A. Caceres in the thirty-ninth minute, then added two goals before half-time. L. Corulo and R. Monteiro both found the net in quick succession during stoppage time, giving Guabirá a comfortable lead.
The visitors pulled one back through Monteiro's effort at 45+2, but Guabirá responded immediately. Caceres converted a second penalty in the fifty-first minute, and the match began to tilt in their favour. Six substitutions were made at the break, with Guabirá bringing on J. Goyeneche, D. Calero, R. J. Balceras Cuellar, E. Rivera, and J. Velez all together.
Guabirá's changes worked. L. Vargas scored in the seventy-second minute to extend the advantage, and Real Oruro were reduced to ten men when A. Rivera received a red card on the final whistle. The visitors had dominated possession at 51% and registered more attacks, but their shooting accuracy of 0.38 told a different story compared to Guabirá's 0.75.
The statistics revealed a mismatch in efficiency. Real Oruro recorded 46 attacks against 35 for the hosts, yet only managed two corners to Guabirá's seven. Both sides hit nine shots on target, but the away team's thirteen attempts off target highlighted their inability to find the cutting edge. Guabirá's single corner from a blocked shot was enough to shift the momentum.
The result gives Guabirá a significant boost in the group race. Real Oruro's recent form—draws and heavy defeats in their last five outings—offers little consolation after this performance. The red card at the death left them with nothing to show for their territorial dominance, and the points gap in the standings now looks insurmountable for their cup hopes.
