Bolívar seeks to maintain the lead in the Copa Paceña

The third round of the Copa Bolivia ends with the clash between Bolívar and Independiente Petrolero. The Celeste club, leading Group D with six points, aims to consolidate its position at the top of the table. The match, scheduled for 20:30 at Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, promises to be a test of endurance and strategy.

Focus on the competition, according to Lopera

According to Sebastián Lopera, sports manager of the Academy, the club’s objective remains centered on pursuing results. “We are focused on the competition, which is important; we want to win every game we play,” he said.

Reinforcement plan and squad analysis

Lopera highlighted the importance of signings such as Dairon Asprilla, Billy Arce, Bruno Miranda and Leonardo Zabala, who have played decisive roles in the second half of the season. He stressed that the selection of these players was based on work, timing and planning.

Strategies for the meeting in La Paz

Regarding the upcoming game, Bolívar’s coach is evaluating possible changes to the lineup, with the possibility of adding Patricio Rodríguez and Robson Matheus if they overcome their muscular limitations. Leonel Justiniano will miss the match due to a suspension after being sent off in the last encounter against Gualberto Villarroel.

Women’s team as motivation

Lopera also celebrated the recent triumph of the women’s team, which won the Bolivian Women’s League and qualified for the Copa Libertadores. He stated that the success of the women’s side reinforces the importance of maintaining performance across all competitions.

Next step in the competition

With the victory in the last game, Bolívar continues to strive to keep control of the tournament, while Independiente Petrolero looks to regain ground in the standings. The result of the La Paz duel will determine who advances from the group stage and who will need to reposition to ensure they remain at the top.
