We end tonight's broadcast and invite you to let us know at a later date.

Boca wins!

A very important win for Boca in Bolivia, which leaves them second in the group and with a good chance of qualifying for the round of 16.

There will be very little left in the game, Boca will not suffer in defense and will let the minutes pass.

Possession in the midfield for Boca.

Zeballos' personal play in the area, he sent the cross and no one arrived to deflect the ball.

7 more minutes will be played.

The match is not yet played, Fabra is being treated for a cut on his face.

Cortes hit Fabra who was on the ground and then in the middle of a melee, he kicked him again and the referee sent him off.

Everything is played in the middle of the field, little is done near the goal.

Cristaldo's shot from the edge of the area, but the ball went straight into the goalkeeper's hands.

The last 10 minutes of the match are coming, where Always will try everything to win.

Orsini had a chance alone in front of goal after a corner kick from the left flank, but sent it wide of the goal.

Boca takes a breather, plays close to the opponent's area and has possession of the ball.

It seems that the visitors are just waiting for the minutes to pass and they look a little tired.

Boca was a bit stuck at the back at times, waiting for their opponent and looking for a quick exit after recovering.

The teams split up a bit, the game starts to look back and forth, but with little depth or effectiveness.

Arce had a chance in the box after receiving a rebound in the area, but when he tried to get his shot off, Rossi had already come out to close it down and kept the ball.

Cristaldo's shot from half distance went wide of the goal defended by Rossi.

The home team is the one that insists the most in the match, but without the offensive quality that would allow them to reach the rival area with good goal options.

The intensity of the match continues to drop and the game is played a bit far from the goal.

The intensity of the game drops, the ball spends a lot of time in the midfield.

For the visitors:

Out: Vásquez and Ramírez.

In: Orsini and Medina

Váquez was given a through ball, but he hesitated a bit to run and missed the opportunity to be left alone with the ball at his feet in front of the goalkeeper.

Vasquez falls to the floor and they must stop the engagement to attend to him.

Boca is surprised, and when they do get the ball, they can't get past the third quarter of the field.

Always dominates at the start of the second half.

The home team gained confidence and played close to the opponent's area, looking for the equalizer as soon as possible.

Always Ready missed it, a great cross from the right by Enuomba and Riquelme arrived alone in the middle of the area to head the ball, but it went just wide of the goal.

At halftime, the home team made two changes.

Adrían and Borja were substituted for Chumacero and Riquelme.

The ball is moving in La Paz and the last 45 minutes of the match are played.

The visitors, who did more for the game in the first half, won the match, where a dubious penalty was called and the players claimed everything.

Cristaldo's long-range shot and the goalkeeper had to intervene to prevent the equalizer.

The last minutes of the first half were very short, the referee intervened a lot.

The local team is unable to pass from the midfield with the ball on the ground and also fails to win the divided balls in the air.

Salvio's personal play on the left flank ended with a shot from the edge of the area, but the goalkeeper made a good save and sent it to the side.

Six more minutes will be played in this first half.

The visitors continue to play better, lowering their lines a little and waiting for their opponent in the midfield.

The home team was poorly positioned at the back, Boca arrived with several men in the area, Vásquez fell to the ground and they wanted another penalty, but the referee only told him to get up.

The local team tries to move up the field and look for an equalizer.

The same affected player changed the penalty for a goal, after shooting with his right foot and directing the ball into the middle and over the goal, to score the first goal of the night.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Salvioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goal

The penalty was not yet called, because the Always Ready players continue to complain.

Salvio fell to the ground after a collision with the goalkeeper and the referee did not hesitate to call the penalty.

Half an hour into the game and Boca is doing much better and getting closer to the opponent's goal, but still without being effective.

Salvio had a chance and did not know how to make decisions. 

He stole the ball in the opponent's half, faced the goalkeeper and had a teammate in the middle of the area who was going in alone, but he preferred to shoot and sent it to the stands.

Fernandez's shot from long distance, but the goalkeeper was well stopped and blocked the ball to keep it for himself.

Goalkeeper Rossi was injured in the last play and the game has not yet resumed.

The ball was filtered to Cristaldo on the left flank, the player shot the cross and Rossi jumped to hang on to it, before Blanco came from behind to head in.

In the first 20 minutes of the match, we had no real dangerous plays and Boca started to dominate the match, through possession of the ball in the opponent's field.

The visitors began to gain confidence, started to put more men in the other team's half and reached the edge of the opponent's area with more danger.

Vásquez, Salvio and Romero got together, the last mentioned took the shot at the edge of the area, but the ball hit a rival and the danger of the play ended.

Little offensive weight from the visitors when they reach the last quarter, very few men touch the opponent's area, when Boca has possession.

Boca played with a bit of anxiety, as in two almost consecutive plays, they were caught offside and in both plays it was Salvio who was badly positioned on the field.

Boca moves forward a lot when they have the ball, they are sometimes poorly positioned after losses and Always does not take advantage of this, and for the moment everything is slow and a bit imprecise.

Now, there is a lot of ball fighting in the midfield, there are mistakes in delivery and we are not very deep.

Now it was Boca who played close to the opponent's area, having already had a mid-distance shot by Vásquez, which was well saved by the goalkeeper.

The home team is playing a little better, with initiative, trying to take possession of the ball and create collective play on the ground.

In the first minutes Always Ready wanted to take the offensive initiative and played close to the opponent's area.

The ball is moving in La Paz, as the match that closes matchday 4 of the Libertadores 2022 group stage gets underway.

The captains' draw has been made, everything is ready and only the referee's order is needed to start today's match.

The referee gives the order and both teams take the field together.
The Bolivian anthem is played and after that the captains are drawn.

Teams in the mixed zone, the players greet each other, they are friends and colleagues, only the order of the central referee is missing, so that they go out to the field and the match begins.

Everything is ready for the teams to take the field, it is expected that at any moment they will be in the mixed zone and together with the referee team, they will take the field to start tonight's match. 
The stadium has a good atmosphere and the only thing missing is for the protagonists to move the ball.

The players will go to the dressing room, change and go out to the mixed zone where the referees will give the signal for them to take the field.

The warm-up continues, both teams play 'little games' with the ball and begin to end the warm-up. 

The teams are about to take the field to begin their respective warm-up, first they will do it physically, then they will work with the ball.
The goalkeepers will work separately.
