The Auriazules showed much superiority against the rival and ended up scoring with two goals from Mario Ricardo and one each from Cristóbal Chaparro and Hugo Centurión.
In the city of Itauguá, a team from the First “B” faced another team from the First “C”. Colón proved in the first stage to be better than his rival and after a few minutes with some doubts, he took possession of the ball and began to reach the opponent’s goal in danger.
25 minutes after a play prepared in a corner kick came the first for Colón by Cristóbal Chaparro who received the authorization from Mario Ricardo.
Colón continued better and 35 minutes into the opening stage, Hugo Centurión took a great shot from outside the area and the ball after hitting the crossbar became the second of J. Augusto Saldívar’s.
Pinozá went out a bit more to search in the second half, but it was Colón who came back with danger in a shot that went up after a play that Mario Ricardo started again. Time passed and fatigue began to appear in both teams, the technicians had to resort to the bench to refresh their teams.
At 74 minutes, as well as against Cerro Porteño in 2018, Mario Ricardo’s goal appeared. And it was a goal from a free kick from the right, the goalkeeper and the defenders awaited the center and Ricardo decided to kick the goal to convert the third for his team.
The First “B” team sought to score more goals and so at 79 minutes came an overflow from the left, the ball in the middle so that Mario Ricardo scored his second goal in the game and the fourth for his team.
The game ended with the defeat of Cristóbal Colón by J. Augusto Saldívar who qualified for the second phase where he will have to play against Olimpia, on September 14 at the Nacional stadium.
