In the only match marked for this Sunday, Guaraní receives Sol de América in Dos Bocas, in a clash between two teams in great need of points, especially the blue one, which is in the promotion zone.
The Aborigine is also not far behind and although it is not complicated with the averages, it needs to reverse this bad moment to think about a better second semester, after the first has been forgotten.
Éver Almeida’s El Sol de América comes after a tough defeat by a thrashing (0-3) against October 12, before he had defeated River Plate, after a streak of seven consecutive games without winning. It occupies the penultimate position of the table, with just 9 points.
While Guaraní also arrives with a couple of straight games without victories, after the victory against River two dates ago, which had cut a streak of eight consecutive games without victories.
The Costas team wanders in the lower-middle zone of the table and is in seventh position with just fifteen points, only above Luqueño, Sol de América and River Plate.

Cerro Porteño gave a coup of authority at home, punished Olimpia 2-0, in a rebellious second half and is a firm candidate to continue fighting for the Apertura tournament title. The Cyclone reaches the top and is also a leader with the Dean and Libertad.
The first half has been the poorest in recent times. Cerro being dominating, but without accelerating too much and Olimpia clearly waiting, betting on some counterattack or precise long ball from Polenta.
The Cyclone dominated the media sector as was evident with Lucena-Villasanti, but it cost it to damage in speed and surprise an Olimpia, who stopped with practically ten men at times and closed every corner.
The Dean sacrificed Alejandro Silva as an intern and the boy Diego Torres put him to play outside, but it was against the offensive game, since the Uruguayan lost panorama to face.
Cerro did not filter many balls in the first half, but he already revealed that Olimpia’s defense did not give guarantees, mainly in the center, due to the slowness of the two defenders, Alcaraz and Polenta.
Mateus, with a great shot, and Claudio Aquino, had the clearest in the first half, but Olveira dressed as a firefighter to put out the fringed fire.
In the complementary one, only at the beginning Walter González had the only and clearest for Olimpia. He received a great cross and headed just off the crossbar.
Cerro always dominated, warned with a great play by Villasanti and a great cover again by Olveira.
The wind began to change in favor of the Cyclone with key income from Mauro Boselli and Fernando Ovelar.
Arce knew that he had to win and decided to take risks. He took out Carrizo and Goncalves, to locate a “double 9”, which this time played in favor of Mauro Boselli.
The Argentine punished in the 72nd minute, after a great overflow from Claudio Aquino. Boselli put his chest and signed the 1-0.
For Olimpia things got even more complicated, since he lost Braian Ojeda by a silly expulsion, when he had the ball in favor.
But Cerro was cunning, he decided to wait longer and try to “kill” backlash. But the knockout blow came through a set piece play. A great free kick by Alan Rodríguez was connected with a header by Juan Patiño, who made it a reassuring 2-0 for the Barça victory.
Cerro gives a strategic blow, since he defeats one of the leaders and is also the leader, awaiting what happens on Monday with Libertad.

Cerro Porteño’s coach, Francisco Arce, gave his opinion at a press conference and highlighted the great dominance of his team against the traditional rival. The form stood out again and according to him, the Cyclone was able to score another goal.
“We needed to add three against them, because or else the championship was slipping away from us. We control it in a great way defensively and offensively. We won it very fairly. They reached us very little and we managed to prevail without them complicating us too much. We finish with the control of the ball and the game, being able to convert more“, highlighted the Barcelona DT.
Arce referred to Cerro’s double objective. He made it clear that he is going to fight both in the Apertura, in which he reached the top and also in the Copa Libertadores, a competition in which for now he also leads.
“So far it is sensational, it is a blessing that they can fight important things in the two tournaments, they are very good physically and whole for both tournamentss “, he assured, clarifying that there will not be too many rotations if the team continues to fight both fronts.
Regarding the relief of Mauro Boselli, who had been criticized for his lack of effectiveness, he said that this was never felt internally in Cerro.
“The criticism is done by the one with a finger, a pulse, he has a lot of experience and is professional, I don’t think criticism affects him. Today he entered and scored an important goal “, he concluded by saying.
