The opening goal came from an unexpected source. A long ball from goalkeeper Huanacota caught the Real Potosí defense off guard, allowing Daniel Porozo to capitalize on the miscalculation. Porozo skillfully maneuvered past a defender and slotted the ball home with his left foot, breaking the deadlock.

El primer tanto llegó tras una jugada poco habitual. Un envío largo del portero Huanacota encontró mal posicionada a la defensa potosina, donde un error en el cálculo permitió que Daniel Porozo capitalice la acción. El atacante se sacó la marca de Rioja con una finta y, cayéndose, definió de zurda para abrir el marcador.

Real Oruro extended their lead late in the game with a well-executed set piece. A corner kick from Juan Montenegro found Yerko Vallejos, who rose above the defenders to head the ball into the net, doubling the visitors' advantage. While Real Potosí managed to pull one back through a penalty converted by Gonzalo Añazgo in added time, it was too little, too late.

Cuando el partido parecía encaminarse a un cierre ajustado, Real Oruro volvió a golpear, esta vez a balón parado. Juan Montenegro ejecutó un tiro de esquina que cruzó toda el área, y desde atrás apareció Yerko Vallejos, quien se metió pese a la marca de un defensor, para conectar un certero cabezazo y ampliar la ventaja.
