Tacuary secured a 1-0 victory over Guairena in the Division Intermedia regular season on 10 August 2026. The match, numbered 18 in the competition, ended with the home side taking all three points despite a hard-fought performance from their visitors. J. M. Franco Almada scored the decisive goal in the 66th minute, and it proved enough to separate the two sides.
And here's the thing about this result — Guairena had more possession at 51 per cent and registered 115 attacks compared to Tacuary's 104, yet they could not find the net. Tacuary were more clinical with their finishing, hitting the target four times while the visitors managed three shots on target. By then it was already too late for Guairena to recover from their missed opportunities.
The statistics tell a story of chances going begging for the away side. They won the corner count 8-3 and had 16 goal kicks against 11, suggesting they spent more time under pressure than they perhaps expected to. Two yellow cards went against Guairena while Tacuary stayed clean, and both sides had two offsides each.
Tacuary move to 19 points from 22 games, sitting 15th in the table with three wins, ten draws and nine defeats. Guairena remain 13th after 23 matches, their record reading six victories, six draws and 11 losses for 24 points. The gap between them remains five points with one more game played by the visitors.
For Tacuary the result ends a run that included a heavy 1-3 defeat to Resistencia on 1 August and a goalless draw with Deportivo Capivara. Their last win came against Paraguari 1-0, and they showed a similar resilience here to salvage something from a game they did not fully control. Guairena's clean-sheet run came to an end, and their recent form of two draws followed by two losses makes this point feel like a small mercy.
