The rivalry between Blooming and Oriente Petrolero in the ‘clásico cruceño’ saw a decisive outcome in late August 2026. Prior to their match in the Copa Paceña, Oriente Petrolero entered the fixture with strong momentum under coach Gustavo Florentín, while Blooming faced internal instability, including reported salary debts and uncertainty regarding coach Erwin Sánchez’s position.

During the match, Oriente Petrolero secured a 3-0 victory in the Copa Bolivia derby at the Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera Stadium in Santa Cruz. Goals were scored by Franz Gonzáles, José Alfredo Flores, and Octavio Perdomo. Following the defeat, Blooming manager Erwin ‘Platiní’ Sánchez expressed a desire to remain in his position despite the team’s irregular performance. Sánchez noted that although the team initially controlled the match, an early error led to the opening goal, causing the squad to lose composure.

The win provided significant relief for Oriente Petrolero following recent internal tensions regarding unpaid wages. The club's management fulfilled a pending salary payment shortly before the match, helping to stabilize the squad ahead of the high-stakes derby. In contrast, the defeat leaves Blooming in a difficult position, with reports noting visible frustration from their technical staff amid ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent form across tournaments.
