The Bolivians will be aiming to “change the image” presented at the start after defeats against Brazil and Argentina, but they believe the “bad” tie is over, as defender Luis Haquin assured.

“We started with minus three points, we got the first win, now we have to add positives, we hope to add points, but we will get them depending on the merits made in 90 minutes or not. To achieve that we will try to play and compete, that’s why we will try to be as precise as possible, with great respect , with the ambition to score points as well,” pointed out the national coach.
