12 de Junio took a 2-1 lead into the second half before Paraguari's resilience showed in the closing stages. The hosts opened the scoring through J. Ayala in the 23rd minute, then H. Lezcano doubled their advantage six minutes later. Hernan Perez pulled one back for the visitors in the 61st minute, setting up a tense finale at the stadium.
G. Pinedo restored 12 de Junio's two-goal cushion in the 77th minute, and by then Paraguari appeared to be looking at another defeat. The away side never stopped pressing, though, and D. Bordon found a way through with a dramatic 90+2 minute equaliser. The late goal meant Paraguari left with a point despite being outplayed for long periods.
12 de Junio dominated possession at 60 per cent but Paraguari created more clear-cut opportunities. The visitors registered nine shots on target compared to the hosts' seven, yet only converted one of their efforts. It was a frustrating afternoon for the home side, who found a way through to take the lead but could not hold on.
The result keeps 12 de Junio in second place with 43 points from 21 games. Paraguari remain 13th on 23 points, still four points adrift of safety with a game in hand over some sides above them. The hosts had won three of their last five matches before this setback.
Paraguari's recent form has been inconsistent, with losses to Sportivo Luqueño and Deportivo Santaní among their last five results. This point away from home might prove crucial in their fight to climb the table. The goal difference remains -9 for both sides, a reflection of tight matches throughout the season.
