Match Report

Bolívar rescued a late point in Caracas, denying Deportivo La Guaira a crucial home win in Matchday 4 of the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The Venezuelan side had to settle for a 1-1 draw, with a stoppage-time strike by Leonel Justiniano proving the decisive moment. José Alí Meza put La Guaira ahead on 31 minutes and the hosts looked in control heading into the final stretch. That changed in the 85th minute when Xavier Arreaga was dismissed for a second bookable offense, handing the visitors a lifeline. Bolívar took full advantage, with Justiniano levelling deep into added time — in the 90th+4 — to seal the share of the spoils. The draw leaves Bolívar in second place in Group C as both clubs remain in contention for a knockout berth. La Guaira stay third but will rue the late collapse — three points at home would have moved them into a direct qualification spot with just two matchdays remaining.
