Cerro Porteño gave a coup of authority in the Apertura tournament: it deservedly defeated 3-1 against the one that until recently was the only leader, Libertad, accumulated its seventh victory in a row and is obsessed with the possibility of being champion of the Apertura tournament.

From the beginning, Manolo Jiménez’s team stood in Tuyucuá with a suffocating proposal and clearly seeking to win the game, against a very cautious Gumarelo, who put two full-backs as wingers, clearly showing that he did not dislike a tie.

Dominant in the middle with Piris and Peralta, but mainly with the very hot wingers; Both Juan Iturbe on the right and Cecilio Domínguez on the left won practically all the duels against the local sides.

In Libertad’s midfield, he only imposed the same pace as the rival, Hernesto Caballero, who had great display, but which ended up being insufficient.

At 26 minutes, after a great internal combination with “Pachi” Carrizo, Juan Manuel Iturbe scored a tremendous goal. He shot from about 25 meters and went over Rodrigo Morínigo.

This is how the first stage went and with a couple of variations, Libertad seemed to shake off at the beginning of the complementary stage. Quickly, Óscar Cardozo, after an aerial assist from Matías Espinoza, made it 1-1.

Cerro’s great virtue was that he did not let himself be morally impacted by that tie and four minutes after the tie, he used the same formula again: assist from Carrizo and goal from Juan Iturbe, this time with a header.

Gumarelo played everything and Azulgrana took advantage in a great way. After a robbery by Iturbe and subsequent assist, Cecilio Domínguez excelled with a great finish to make it 3-1.
