Santa Cruz Clasico: Oriente Petrolero 1 - 2 Blooming

 Brazilian Jefferson Tavares scored the winning goal on Saturday at 93'. The other Celeste goal was scored by Arismendi ('7). Dorrego (73') scored for the refineries, who will have the chance to make amends on Tuesday when they face Royal Pari in the Copa Sudamericana. 

The first official Santa Cruz derby of the year went to Blooming. The Santa Cruz academy won 2-1 in the sixth match of the Apertura tournament. 

Brazilian Jefferson Tavares was the Celeste hero, scoring the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time and it looked like the game would end in a draw.

The team coached by Chilean Rodrigo Venegas reached the top of Group B with this victory. They are now three points ahead of Bolívar, who will face The Strongest on Monday.

Erwin Sanchez had to chew on the defeat and had to leave the field after 66 minutes because he was sent off. 

The DT of the refineries started with an alternate team in order to take care of the starters, although most of them started as substitutes, because next Tuesday they have the revenge match against Royal Pari in the Copa Sudamericana. In that match the qualification to the group stage is at stake.

On the other hand, Venegas gave everything he had. Blooming had 17 brilliant minutes in the first half. In this period they made a difference in the game by virtue of the attitude they imposed against an opponent that at the beginning was imprecise, especially in defense.

Fernando Arismendi's goal after 7 minutes was a reflection of what was happening on the field. Rafinha's free kick to the far post; Abraham Cabrera pivoted and brought the ball down for the Uruguayan striker to open the scoring.

Oriente had a hard time at that moment. Even at 17' they could have conceded a second goal. Tavares was not able to score a goal, after a great pass from Rafinha.

A minute later, the history of the match changed. The goal missed by Ferdy Roca after an assist from full-back Samuel Guzmán was a sign of the refinery's reaction, which in the 36th minute generated the clearest goal when Roca headed again and his shot ended up in the hands of goalkeeper Wilson Quiñónez.

In the second half, 'Platiní' Sanchez was forced to put on the starters in order to pull out the game. Hugo Dorrego, Alexis Ribera and Facundo Suárez came on. The changes were noticeable in the Albiverde game because they had more of the ball and grew in dynamics.

Blooming slowed down in this stretch. The wear and tear began to take its toll, although it never gave up. Venegas had to make changes to refresh his team. Clody Menacho, Paúl Arano and Darlan Noronha came on.

Oriente's best moment came when Dorrego scored the equalizer at 73' thanks to an assist from Facundo Suárez.

The 1-1 draw was emotional, especially for the albiverdes fans, who enjoyed the Argentine striker's goal and suffered in the final minutes when Junior Sánchez gave a masterful pass to Taváres, who, in front of Uraezaña, scored with the serenity and effectiveness of an experienced striker.
