General Caballero and Rubio-Nu shared the spoils in a 2:2 draw before the visitors advanced on penalties in the Copa Paraguay Round of 32 on 25 August 2026.
Rubio-Nu took the lead through L. Montiel in the thirtieth minute, but General Caballaro responded with R. Gomez finding the net fourteen minutes later. By then the match had settled into a rhythm neither side could break, and it was A. Paez who levelled for the hosts in the seventy-seventh minute.
E. Alegre restored Rubio-Nu's advantage just four minutes later, and the game seemed headed for extra time. And here's the thing — it went exactly that way, though the shootout told a different story.
Rubio-Nu struck first through R. Rojas and M. De Carvalho, while N. Gomez and J. Barrios missed for General Caballero. A. Verdun and J. Santacruz scored for the hosts, but A. Paez sealed it for the away side.
Rubio-Nu dominated possession at 0.59 to 0.41 and registered six shots on target against three. The visitors also had 70 attacks to 61, though shots off target told a murier picture with six compared to two.
Rubio-Nu move through to the next round, while General Caballero's campaign ends here. The hosts had won four of their last five matches before this, but the shootout proved unforgiving.
