General Caballero — Tacuary: 4:1, Division Intermedia

General Caballero beat Tacuary 4-1 in the Intermedia Regular Season on Sunday evening, a result that extends the home side's comfortable position at the top of the table. The match was played in front of a reasonable crowd, though neither attendance figure was supplied. By then the visitors were already making the trip feel longer than it needed to be.

And here's the thing about this match — it didn't start explosively. Franco Almada opened the scoring in the 24th minute, a moment that General Caballero held onto for the rest of the first half. Martinez added a second in the 39th, and that was enough to settle any doubts before the interval.

To be fair, Tacuary came out with more energy after the break, but they couldn't convert it. Baigorria made it 3-0 in the 59th minute, and the visitors finally got on the board through Gomez in the 85th. Salinas had already made it 4-1 in the 83rd, so the goal came too late to change anything meaningful.

The statistics tell a story that doesn't quite match the final score. Tacuary had more attacks — 100 to 87 — and worked possession almost evenly at 49 per cent. But General Caballero hit the target seven times while the visitors could only manage one shot on goal. Seven shots on target for one goal is not exactly efficient football.

What this means in the table is worth noting. General Caballero now sit 14 points clear at the summit with 22 points from 21 games. Tacuary remain 14th on 19 points from 21 matches, and that gap is beginning to look uncomfortable. The home side have won 13 league games this season — a run that shows they know how to close out results.
