Conmebol Sudamericana 2022: Oriente Petrolero 3 - 0 Royal Pari

 The refineries won with goals by Facundo Suárez (64' and 83') and Leandro Zazpe (94'). They secured their place in the group stage of the Cup. The aggregate score was 6-2, as the first leg favored the albiverdes by 3-2.

Oriente Petrolero is the first Bolivian team to qualify for the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana. The albiverdes defeated Royal Pari 3-0 on Tuesday in the second leg at the Tahuichi Aguilera stadium.


On aggregate, the refineries won the first phase by 6-2, as the first leg, played on March 8, was won by 3-2.


Argentine Facundo Suárez stood out with his two goals (64' and 83'), demonstrating effectiveness. Uruguayan defender Leandro Zazpe sealed the victory four minutes into stoppage time (90+4).


The first half was not very colorful due to the footballing expression developed by both teams. It had some additions such as the duel between the Álvarez brothers. Sebastián is a central defender for Oriente and Gilbert is an attacker for Royal Pari. 

In addition, Julio César Baldivieso made a forced change in defense after 26 minutes due to the injury of the Ecuadorian Roberto Luzárraga. He was replaced by Jeferson Virreira.

The second half was more lively. Erwin 'Platiní' Sánchez changed parts of the midfield and attack to strengthen sectors that were weak in the first half. Juan Mercado, Miguel Ríos, Jamir Berdecio and Hugo Rojas came on.

The changes paid off. Oriente showed another facet, perhaps the one that was not seen in the first half or in Saturday's 1-2 loss to Blooming in the sixth round of the Apertura Professional Division tournament.

In this period, the dynamic Ronaldo Sanchez, who was the one who gave the pass to Suarez, was decisive. With a quick hook to the edge of the area, he stopped almost the entire backline and with an accurate shot he opened the scoring at 64'.

In that period, Suárez's best offensive version was seen. He had company in attack and his partner was Hugo Rojas, who in the 83rd minute overflowed on the right, leaving Marvin Bejarano in the way, and near the end line was able to send a cross back to the scorer of the day who scored the second goal.

The game was settled, although Royal Pari had a couple of chances to score. The clearest was a one-on-one from striker Miguel Murillo with Wilson Quiñónez, who was able to cut off the shot in time.

Oriente was on fire in the final stretch. This attitude allowed them to score the third with four minutes of stoppage time (90+4). Carlos Roca's cross was headed in by Zazpe, who beat Virreira to the ball.

With the 3-0 scoreline, Oriente celebrated an emphatic qualification on aggregate.
