In the Nacional B game on 26 September 2026, Atletico Sucre beat Libertad Asunción 0:2.
Match report
Atletico Sucre moved into third place with a 2:0 victory over Liberad Asunción in the sixth round of Nacional B on Saturday evening. The result leaves the hosts rooted to fourth spot after another defeat in a difficult run of form.
It was not a surprise outcome, to be fair. Sucre had been the better side across their recent encounters and the pattern held here. Liberad's defensive frailties, exposed heavily in previous fixtures, showed through again as the visitors took control.
Our prediction of an away win, at 58 per cent confidence, proved accurate. The visitors simply had too much for a home side that has not found its rhythm this season. Sucre's efficiency in attack contrasted sharply with Liberad's inability to create anything meaningful.
The standings now reflect a clear gap between the two sides. Sucre sit on nine points from six games while Liberad remain on a solitary point after five losses and one draw. The visitors have shown they can compete at this level, even if inconsistency remains a factor.
Liberad's recent history reads poorly: five defeats in their last six matches, including heavy losses to Juanuni and Deportivo Fatik. They will need to find a way to stop the slide if they want to avoid further damage to their campaign.
Sucre's away win extends their momentum, though they remain three points behind the leaders. By then, when the season reaches its midpoint, this result could mean everything or nothing depending on what follows.
