Sportivo Carapeguá — Paraguari Ac: 2:3, Division Intermedia

Sportivo Carapeguá lost 2:3 to Paraguari in the Intermedia Regular Season on Thursday evening. The hosts took an early lead but could not hold on as Paraguari fought back to claim all three points away from home. It was a result that shifts the pressure on both sides of the table.

V. G. Velazco Ramirez opened the scoring in the second minute, giving Carapeguá a buoyant start. Paraguari responded through D. Bordon in the 32nd minute to level matters before halftime. B. Britez restored the home side advantage in the 46th minute, but J. Bobadilla brought Paraguari level once more in the 59th minute. A late goal in the 86th minute sealed the visitors' comeback.

Carapeguá dominated possession at 55 per cent and registered 127 attacks compared to Paraguari's 113. The hosts managed eight shots on target, the same as the visitors, but Paraguari were more clinical with seven shots off target to Carapeguá's four. The statistics suggest Carapeguá paid for a sloppy opening, creating chances without converting them when it mattered.

The result sees Carapeguá remain eighth with 28 points from 21 games, while Paraguari stay 13th on 23 points. Carapeguá have not won since their recent 1:0 victory over 12 de Junio VH, and this defeat extends that run. Paraguari's away form has been inconsistent, but they came for a cross they never reached in the second half and still managed to turn it around after the break.

Paraguari now extend their unbeaten run to three matches across all competitions. The gap between the two sides in the table remains five points, though the momentum has shifted in these final weeks of the season.
