Bolivia Wrap: Bolivar move clear as Strongest flop

Nacional had a 2-0 win over the second-placed Strongest, taking them within a point of their opponents.

Now fourth, Nacional were fired to the victory by goals to Fernando Martelli and Rodrigo Vargas.

Jose Luis Capdevilla had Bolivar in front seven minutes after the interval, before William Ferreira's brace - the first from the penalty spot - had Miguel Angel Portugal's men 4-1 to the good.

But the home side were back in front 11 minutes later, with Carlos Saucedo and Carlos Neumann scoring three minutes apart to turn the tide back in San Jose's favour.

Guabira snapped a run of four straight defeats with a 2-0 win at Sport Boys, on the back of Miguel Rios' double.

Leading 3-2 in the shadows of the full-time whistle, Wilstermann's Rodrigo Ramallo fired late to ensure his side remained unbeaten through six.
