In a hard-fought fixture in the Copa Sudamericana on 8th June 2023, the visiting Tacuary FBC proved superior to CD Oriente Petrolero with a clinical 3-1 win. The result was not representative of Oriente Petrolero’s performance, as they won the contest for corner kicks, earning 7 compared to Tacuary's 3. However, they failed to convert their finishing and were ultimately undermined by calculated shots taken by Tacuary.

Tacuary started strongly, opening their account in the 29th minute of the first half and following up with a second goal in the 42nd minute. Despite going down two goals, Oriente Petrolero showed persistence but was heavily impacted by the two goals conceded within quick succession before the halftime whistle. Added to their woes was a yellow card awarded in the 35th minute of the first half.

In the second half, Oriente Petrolero demonstrated their combative strategy, evident from the high number of corner kicks trying to penetrate Tacuary's defense. However, Tacuary impeccably extended their lead with a third goal in the 76th minute. It was only in the 85th minute that Oriente Petrolero found the back of the net to bring the score to 1-3.

Discipline turned out to be a significant issue for Oriente Petrolero, as they collected three yellow cards, reflecting a more aggressive game from their side. Two additional yellow cards were administered in the second half, one preceeding their single goal in the match and another late in the game at the 93rd minute. Tacuary, on the other hand, only received a single booking in the 41st minute.

While Oriente Petrolero were able to convert better on set pieces, Tacuary FBC took advantage of their chances, with a relentless and concentrated attack strategy. The home side's aggressive play was met with composed resilience by Tacuary FBC, unsettling their opponents and taking away the points from Bolivian territory.

In review, the significant factors in determining the final scoreline were Tacuary FBC's efficient use of opportunities in scoring goals, and Oriente Petrolero's defensive lapses and indiscipline, which affected their game negatively. Despite the high number of corner kicks, Oriente Petrolero couldn't make the most of these advantages, which played a crucial role in their loss. Impressive game management from Tacuary enabled them to retain their lead and eventually secure a convincing victory.
