Bolivar vs Ind. Rivadavia

Independiente Rivadavia closed Copa Libertadores Group C in style, beating Bolívar 3-1 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Sebastián Villa's clinical late brace was the highlight of a commanding away display on the final matchday. Leonel Bucca broke the deadlock deep in first-half stoppage time (45+6') to give the visitors the lead. Martín Cauteruccio levelled for the hosts ten minutes into the second half, briefly raising hopes of a Bolívar comeback. Villa ended that optimism in the 91st minute with a composed finish, then tapped in a rebound moments later to complete his brace and seal the 3-1 scoreline. No red cards were issued, though both sides collected a string of bookings across a competitive encounter. The result confirmed Independiente Rivadavia as Group C winners with 16 points — the second-best record of any group leader in the 2026 Libertadores. Bolívar, finishing third, now drop into the Copa Sudamericana playoffs, a painful farewell to South America's premier club competition on home soil.
