2 de Mayo — Sol de América, Copa Paraguay

Sol de América dismantled Dose de Mayo 4-0 in the Copa Paraguay Round of 16 on Monday night. The away side struck twice in the opening minutes before adding two more after the break to complete a comprehensive victory. And here's the thing — they did it without needing to dominate possession, which sat at 50-50 throughout.

B. Fernandez opened the scoring at the second minute, then Sol de América struck again at the three-minute mark before anyone could settle. M. Gaona made it 3-0 at the half-hour mark, giving his side breathing room. The match looked dead at that stage, though they still had 45 minutes to play.

They almost made it four earlier when J. Sanguina missed a penalty at 58 minutes. By then the game was already slipping away, but that miss only added to the frustration. G. Marecos finally converted at 89 minutes, and F. S. Leguizamon Samudio added a fourth in stoppage time.

Sol de América had more shots on target — 7 to 4 — despite registering fewer attacks overall. Dose de Mayo managed 124 attacks to their opponents' 89, but the efficiency gap told the real story. They were left exposed in defence, and the statistics confirm it.

The result ends Dose de Mayo's brief hopes of progression. They had lost three of their last four matches before this, including heavy defeats to Nacional and Libertad. Sol de América, meanwhile, extend their recent momentum and keep their own campaign alive.
