Audax Italiano suffered at the height of La Paz and fell 3-0 to Bolívar in the “Hernando Siles” Stadium, remaining eliminated in the second phase of the South American Cup, with an aggregate score of 4-2 in favor of the Bolivians.

The Italians never settled at 3,650 meters above sea level and they demonstrated it with a low level of play. Further, regretted a hard blow at the start, as goalkeeper José Devecchi suffered an injury after a strong clash with his rival Luis Gutiérrez, leaving injured and crying, being replaced by Joaquín Muñoz.

All these inconveniences were taken advantage of by the local cast to make a difference, taking advantage in the 20 ‘thanks Víctor Abrego.

In the second half, the high plateaux continued with their supremacy and increased their difference with a former striker for Universidad de Chile, Palestino and Audax himself, Marcos Riquelme, who after missing a few goals, scored 2-0 in 68 ‘.

In the final stretch, both casts had options. The Bolivians found great saves from goalkeeper Muñoz, and the “tanos” badly defining interesting occasions, in search of a conquest they needed to force penalties.

However, homeowners always had the best options and in 90 + 6 ‘killed the game and the key with Roberto Fernández’s goal, an irremovable blow for the audinos, who became the first Chilean cast eliminated from the South American in this 2020.

Bolívar will face the winner of the series between Lanús and Sao Paulo (which for now the Argentines win 3-2 in the absence of the second leg), while Audax must focus on the National Championship, in which it will return to action on November 14 against Coquimbo Unido, at the start of the second wheel.
