The Bolivian team scored 19 goals in their four games and were only scored upon once in the tournament. The Bolivian squad had entered the tournament as the favorite for the gold but the team´s unshakeable performance throughout the course of the Games proved its dominance. Despite the expulsion of the team´s star striker, Rodrigo Mejido, after he scored the game´s first goal within the first three minutes of the match, the team rallied to clinch the victory in the second half. To celebrate their victory the Bolivian team will visit Malaysia from Singapore, where the 2010 Youth Olympic Games were held this year.
