The championship race remains tight. After Nacional Potosí’s 2‑0 win over Aurora lifted them out of the lower half and sparked a VAR controversy that led the federation to suspend the match officials, the league saw Totora Real Oruro climb to eighth, The Strongest retain the top spot with a 1‑1 draw against Bolívar, and Real Tomayapo earn three points despite a VAR‑cancelled goal.

In the 13th round, The Strongest produced a 3‑2 comeback victory over Nacional Potosí, erasing a 2‑0 first‑half deficit and moving to 27 points, just two points behind league‑leading Always Ready. The win kept The Strongest unbeaten and highlighted the growing impact of striker Darwin Lom. The referee suspensions remain in force pending further review, leaving clubs to watch how the disciplinary measures may affect upcoming fixtures.
