Liberado Asunción took all three points away from Dose de Mayo at the Estadio Monumental Rio Parapiti, closing out a 0:2 victory in the Clausura's tenth round. The result keeps the visitors third on seven points after three games, while Dose de Mayo remain second with seven points as well. And here's the thing — the match was decided by two clear moments rather than sustained pressure from either side.
The opening goal arrived in the forty-third minute when César Gregorio Ramírez Perdesen turned his own defence against Dose de Mayo, sending the ball into the net for Liberado. The hosts had dominated possession up to that point but failed to convert their chances. By then, Dose de Mayo were already searching for an equaliser and pushed forward with more urgency.
Liberado doubled their advantage in the eighty-ninth minute through Luciano Nequecaur, who converted a penalty to put the result beyond doubt. The home side had lost F. Cáceres to a red card in the eighty-second minute, which tightened things up for Dose de Mayo at a critical stage. There is no value left at that number when you are chasing a game with so little time remaining.
Dose de Mayo registered 115 attacks compared to Liberado's 91, yet the visitors were more clinical when it mattered. Both sides recorded two shots on target, but Liberado's 29 percent accuracy proved decisive while Dose de Mayo managed only 20 percent. The hosts threw 428 passes against 402 for the visitors, but possession alone does not win matches.
The victory maintains Liberado's momentum after a heavy defeat to Nacional Asunción earlier in the month. Dose de Mayo had shown resilience in their previous encounters, including a 2:1 win over San Lorenzo, but this afternoon they could not find the breakthrough they needed. The gap between second and third remains just one point, and both sides will look to build on what they learned here.
