This result means Real Potosí moves up the Primera División 2026 table, while ABB's struggles continue in the Apertura - 7 round.

In the 5th minute, F. Zamora of ABB received a yellow card for a reckless challenge, setting the tone for a physically intense match. The foul occurred near the midfield line, as Zamora attempted to win the ball back from a Real Potosí player, but his tackle was deemed late by the referee. This early caution forced ABB to be more cautious in their tackling, allowing Real Potosí to gain more possession and territory.

Four minutes later, in the 9th minute, L. Ali of Real Potosí found space on the left wing and delivered a precise cross into the box, which he then followed up by making a run into the area, receiving a pass, and slots the ball past the ABB goalkeeper from 10 yards out. This goal gave Real Potosí an early advantage and allowed them to dictate the pace of the game, with ABB struggling to create clear scoring opportunities.

The 20th minute saw S. Reyes of ABB pick up a yellow card for persistent infringement, further limiting ABB's ability to press high up the pitch. This caution, combined with the earlier yellow card, meant ABB had to be extremely careful not to concede more free kicks or allow Real Potosí's attacking players to isolate their defenders. As a result, ABB's midfielders began to drop deeper, creating a gap between their defense and midfield that Real Potosí would exploit later in the match.

In the 26th minute, J. Alipaz of Real Potosí doubled his team's lead with a well-placed shot from the edge of the box, after a swift counter-attack that caught ABB off guard. The move started with a quick throw-in on the right side, which was then played to Alipaz, who cut inside and unleashed a low, driven shot that beat the ABB goalkeeper to his left. This goal gave Real Potosí a comfortable lead and allowed them to manage the game, while ABB faced an increasingly difficult task to get back into the match.

Just before halftime, in the 45th minute, J. Rojas of ABB pulled a goal back for his team with a header from a well-delivered corner kick. The cross was swung in from the right side, and Rojas, who had lost his marker, rose highest to direct the ball into the net from 6 yards out. This goal gave ABB a lifeline and reduced the deficit to a single goal, setting up an intriguing second half.

The 51st minute saw A. Seimandi of ABB receive a red card for a second bookable offense, severely weakening ABB's chances of mounting a comeback. The sending-off occurred when Seimandi, already on a yellow card, committed a rash tackle on a Real Potosí player near the center circle. This dismissal forced ABB to play with 10 men for the remainder of the match, making it even more challenging for them to create scoring opportunities.

However, in a surprising turn of events, J. Rioja of Real Potosí was also sent off in the 52nd minute, receiving a straight red card for a serious foul play. This reduction in numbers for both teams created a more open and unpredictable game, with both sides having to adapt their strategies to the new circumstances. Despite being a man down, ABB sensed an opportunity to exploit the space left by Rioja's departure and pushed forward in search of an equalizer.

In the 69th minute, J. Rojas of ABB was substituted out, and A. Bejarano came on, but this change did little to alter the course of the match. By this point, Real Potosí had regained control of the game, and ABB's attacking threat had diminished significantly. The introduction of Bejarano was an attempt to inject fresh energy into ABB's attack, but it was too little, too late, as Real Potosí's defense had solidified.

In the 75th minute, J. Riasco of ABB received a red card, leaving his team with only 9 players on the field. This further depletion of ABB's squad sealed their fate, as they were now heavily outnumbered and unable to cope with Real Potosí's relentless pressure. The sending-off occurred when Riasco, frustrated by his team's situation, committed a reckless challenge on a Real Potosí player, leaving the referee with no choice but to dismiss him.

In the 90th minute, J. Rojas, now playing for Real Potosí, sealed the win for his team with a goal that capped off a dominant performance. The move started with a quick transition from defense to attack, which ended with
