Darwin Lom continues to shine in Bolivia. The Guatemalan forward started this Sunday and scored two goals in The Strongest’s 3-2 victory over San Antonio at the Hernando Siles Stadium, in a match corresponding to the second day of the Bolivian League. The Guatemalan legionnaire was chosen as the best player of the match after an outstanding performance that earned him the MVP of the match.
Lom’s first goal came in the 42nd minute from the penalty spot, after the VAR reviewed a foul by Líder Yanarico on the Guatemalan inside the area. The striker waited for goalkeeper Luca Giossa to lean to one side and placed the ball to the opposite side for the 1-0 lead. In the 60th minute, Colombian Adrián Estacio increased the score with a powerful free kick that went through the middle of the barrier and made it 2-0 for the tabby team.
At minute 81, Lom appeared again to put the game away. The Guatemalan did not consider the ball lost, he took the mark of two defenders and scored before the goalkeeper came out to make it 3-0. San Antonio scored in the final minutes with two goals from Rafael Menacho at 88 and 92, creating suspense at the end, but the score did not move and The Strongest took the three points with the final 3-2.
A legionnaire in great moment
With this double, Darwin Lom consolidates himself as one of the most important figures in The Strongest’s offensive scheme, which with this victory adds six points and is among the teams that command the positions at the beginning of the Bolivian competition under the direction of coach Sixto Vizuete.
Lom’s performance continues to be closely followed by Guatemalan fans, who see in the forward one of the Chapin legionnaires with the greatest projection in South American football. Their ability to resolve in decisive moments and their determination inside the area were once again evident in this match that The Strongest dominated for most of the match.
