San Alfonzo — Capiata Bulls: 33:31, LNB

Capiata Bulls edged San Alfonso 33-31 in the LNB in Paraguay on 12 October 2026. The result extends San Alfonso's winless run to five matches, while the visitors pick up their first points of the campaign.

And here's the thing about the statistics — San Alfonso out-rebounded Capiata 41 to 32 and attempted more three-pointers, 28 to 30. But Capiata converted 10 of their attempts from distance compared to just 3 for the hosts. The visitors also shot slightly better from the field, 32 from 64 against 31 from 71.

To be fair, neither side looked particularly sharp. San Alfonso have not won since the opening round, losing their last five matches including a 75-125 defeat to Olympia Kings. Capiata have been similarly found wanting, with five straight losses before this game.

By then, the visitors had already shown they could compete. Nine steals against seven, and only 14 turnovers compared to 18 for the hosts suggest Capiata managed the ball better when it mattered. The clean-sheet run came to an end for neither side — this was a defensive grind.

The result leaves San Alfonso rooted to eighth place with one victory from fourteen games. Capiata move into fourth with their first points, though the table remains fluid this early. There is unrest in the dressing room at San Alfonso, but that is an assessment, not a fact. The fact is they have seven games left and need to find something.
