Deportivo Campalto secured a 86-75 victory over San Alfonso in the Paraguay LNB on 2026-08-13. The away side held their nerve through a tight contest, finishing with a comfortable margin despite the hosts keeping things close for long stretches. It was a result that extended Campalto's recent form while leaving San Alfonso still searching for consistency.
And here's the thing about the statistics — Campalto dominated the boards with 36 rebounds compared to 27, and they were sharper in transition with 15 steals to 9. The visitors shot better from deep as well, hitting 7 out of 27 three-point attempts against 5 from 21. Turnovers told a different story, with San Alfonso coughing up 23 balls to Campalto's 16.
To be fair, the hosts weren't without their moments. Their field goal percentage sat at 51.75 per cent, better than the visitors' 48.6, and they were reliable from the free-throw line at 85.7 per cent. But that extra ball control and rebounding presence from Campalto made the difference when it mattered. By then the game had slipped away from San Alfonso.
The standings offer little drama at this stage — both sides carry zero points after 14 games, which simply means the season has barely begun in earnest. Campalto sit sixth with four victories, while San Alfonso languish in eighth with just one win. Neither position carries much weight yet, but the gap in results so far is telling.
Recent form suggests Campalto found their rhythm. They dispatched Capiala Bulls 101-73 in their most recent outing, whereas San Alfonso fell narrowly 85-88 to Felix Perez Cardoso. That momentum shift was visible here — the visitors played with more confidence and structure.
The result keeps both teams in the same places for now, but the quality of performance between them is becoming clearer. Campalto's ability to protect the ball and control the paint will be what separates them from the pack as the season unfolds. San Alfonso have work to do before this table means anything.
