Blooming said on Twitter that the match officials put its players under heavy risk of injury due to “excessive added time.” Palmaflor's top sports executive is Bolivia's former President Evo Morales, who said on social media his team had won the match despite “suspicious officials.” Morales governed Bolivia between 2006-2019.
