Bolivia Wrap: Blooming beaten to create logjam

Alejandro Melean and Thiago Santos helped Oriente Petrolero to a 2-0 win over Blooming, who remain a point clear at the top after four games.

But the loss has seen things tighten up at the summit.

Sixth-placed Oriente Petrolero are just two points off first place after their victory, which was set up by Melean's 23rd-minute opener.

Santos completed the key victory in the 80th minute as Blooming's three-match winning run was ended.

Juan Arce's 69th-minute winner saw Bolivar past Club Universitario 2-1.
