It happened in the 16th minute after a free-kick by Bolívar from the edge of the box. The ball deflected off the wall, leading to a series of rebounds where Cerro Porteño’s goalkeeper, Roberto Fernández, made spectacular saves to prevent his team from conceding. However, the Bolivian attack persisted.

After a defensive clearance, magic unfolded. The ball landed perfectly for Ramiro Vaca, who attempted a stunning bicycle kick—an extraordinary goal that brilliantly kicked off the Copa Libertadores group stage. A play that could easily be a Puskás Award contender, although unfortunately, it was perhaps the only joy for Bolívar, as they fell to Cerro Porteño away from home.
