Guaraní Antonio Franco confirmed his great moment and turned the series into a procedure. With the 2-0 advantage obtained in the first leg, the team led by Manuel Dutto and Juan Eluchans came out determined to end history in front of their people and achieved it with authority and good play.

The initial blow came early and was decisive. At 11 minutes, Enzo Cejas opened the scoring and lit up Villa Sarita. Just three minutes later, Marcelo Dávalos increased the difference with a powerful shot inside the area and began to set the course for an uneventful afternoon. Estudio Galeano tried to react, but was met with a solid, orderly and sharp Guarani every time he attacked.

Before the end of the first half, at 36 minutes, Leonardo Galeano made it 3-0 with a header that practically sealed the tie. La Franja managed the timing, dominated the midfield and showed forcefulness in each arrival, while their rival found no answers to stop the offensive gale.

In the complement, Guaraní did not take his foot off the accelerator. At 6 minutes, Mauro Gómez, the scorer, scored the fourth goal and sealed the win, sparking celebration in the stands and confirming a resounding 6-0 aggregate score. From there, the game was played at the pace of the local team, who managed the advantage and saved their energy thinking about what was to come.

With this victory, Guaraní advanced to the semifinals of the Regional Tournament in the Northern Litoral Region, where they will face Deportivo Mandiyú in Corrientes. The first match will be next Sunday in Corrientes for the first leg, after the Corrientes team also beat San Lorenzo de Monte Caseros 4-0 (7-2 on aggregate). La Franja remains firm, excited and with reasons to dream big.
