Always Ready surrendered a commanding two-goal advantage, ultimately drawing 2-2 with Aurora in a dramatic encounter at the Municipal de Villa Ingenio stadium. The 'Red Band' initially dominated the match, scoring twice within the first 11 minutes, but their intensity waned, allowing the visiting team to mount a significant comeback.
Enrique Triverio was the early catalyst for Always Ready, netting goals in the 7th and 11th minutes. His first came from a precise cross, and his second capitalized on a defensive error. The home team even had a chance to extend their lead further, but a shot struck the post.
However, Aurora began to find their footing before halftime. Luis Barbosa pulled one back in the 36th minute after a low cross from Jair Torrico. The momentum shifted decisively after the break, with Aurora equalizing in the 67th minute through Leonardo Viviani, who also received a pass from Torrico.
The situation worsened for Always Ready when Medina received a second yellow card in the 72nd minute, reducing the team to ten players. Despite the numerical disadvantage, both teams pushed for a winner in the final stages, but solid goalkeeping prevented any further goals. The draw leaves Always Ready vulnerable at the top of the league, with Bolรญvar poised to overtake them.
