Club Sportivo San Lorenzo beat 4 de Mayo 2:1 in the Round of 16 of the Paraguayan Cup on 23 September 2026. The match ended after a penalty was converted in the 82nd minute, giving the home side the victory they needed to advance.
And here's the thing about the goal sequence — San Lorenzo took the lead at 49 minutes through S. Salcedo, but the match kept shifting. There was a missed penalty at 48 minutes that didn't find the net, then another goal at 73 minutes before J. Duarte struck at 76. The decisive moment came when F. A. Antunez Centurion stepped up to convert a penalty at 82 minutes.
To be fair, the statistics tell a story of dominance from the hosts. San Lorenzo claimed 60 per cent possession and registered 112 attacks compared to 96 for their opponents. They also won the corner battle 8 to 4 and kept their discipline with no cards, while 4 de Mayo saw one player sent off and collected two yellows.
By then, the away side had been dealing with more pressure throughout. They conceded 22 free kicks against just 6, and while they managed 4 shots on target, only 5 of San Lorenzo's attempts hit the mark — though both sides had 5 shots off target each.
The result ends a difficult run for San Lorenzo, who had lost their previous five matches including heavy defeats against Olimpia and Nacional Asunción. For 4 de Mayo, the exit comes despite a recent 3:2 victory over Fulgencio Yegros back in August.
