Deportivo Capayta and 12 de Junio VH shared the points in a goalless draw during the twenty-sixth round of the División Intermedia on Sunday. The match ended 0:0 at the home ground, a result that leaves the hosts rooted in the lower half while the visitors maintain their position in the upper tier.
There were no goals to speak of, no dismissals, and no dramatic substitutions to mark the occasion. The home side, sitting in twelfth place with 25 points from 25 matches, defended resolutely against a third-placed opposition that had accumulated 48 points from the same number of games. By then, the pattern was clear — a battle for territory rather than chance.
12 de Junio VH dominated the ball, holding 68 per cent possession and registering 86 attacks against the hosts' 67. They managed 12 shots off target and just one on goal, while Deportivo Capayta found the net twice from 22 attempts but could not convert. The statistics tell you everything: many shots with no result means chances went begging.
The visitors had not been in the best of form lately, losing 4-0 to Independiente and drawing 1-1 with Atlético Tembetary among their recent outings. Deportivo Capayta, meanwhile, had lost three of their last four league matches before this stalemate. And here's the thing — both sides looked tired, neither willing to push forward when the stakes might have demanded it.
We had tipped the away side, offering a 40 per cent confidence rating for a 12 de Junio victory. The forecast did not come off. The match was decided in the moments between opportunity and hesitation, and neither team could find the edge they needed. The scoreline reflects that stalemate perfectly.
The draw leaves Deportivo Capayta on 26 points, still nine points adrift of the play-off positions, while 12 de Junio VH remain third with 49 points. Cup football has its own rules, and this was a day where nothing separated two sides who had both lost momentum in different ways.
