Blooming suffered a 2-0 defeat against San Antonio, a loss attributed to their own mistakes rather than superior play from the opposition. Despite showing superiority on the field, Blooming's lack of finishing and critical defensive blunders ultimately sealed their fate.
The match itself offered little in terms of footballing brilliance, characterized by direct play and long balls. However, Blooming appeared to have the upper hand during the first half, maintaining better ball control and generating the clearer scoring opportunities. Their persistent issue, the inability to convert chances, was once again evident.
The first goal came just before halftime. A misplayed ball by Villarroel during a defensive transition allowed San Antonio to regain possession. They quickly launched a deep pass to Terrazas, who calmly controlled the ball before assisting an unmarked Carlos Preciado. Preciado finished clinically with a right-footed shot, beating goalkeeper Gustavo Almada to make it 1-0.
In the second half, after goalkeeper Gustavo Almada was replaced due to injury, Blooming conceded again. In the 67th minute, a clearance from the goalkeeper Giossa from his own area was misjudged by the new keeper Uraezaรฑa in terms of timing and distance. The ball sailed over him, and Abisad could not control it, resulting in the ball rolling into the net for San Antonio's second goal. Blooming's defeat was a self-inflicted wound, stemming from preventable errors.
