Cerro Porteño produced a great reaction. They lost 0-2 and turned it around (3-2) in the last 10′. But Luqueño, in the last play, decreed the final 3-3. Crazy.
Cerro Porteño received Sportivo Luqueño today at the Nueva Olla for date 7 of the Apertura 2023 tournament.
The Barcelona coach Facundo Sava made 10 changes compared to the team that won in Brazil (0-1) for the first leg of Phase 3 of the Copa Libertadores. Only the goalkeeper, Jean Fernandes, repeated.

By your side, the blue and gold team arrived with all the confidence possible after getting their first victory (1-0) against Resistance. Paul Charpentier, author of the triumphant goal, won the title in a pair with Marcelo Pérez.
Lots of colour, great atmosphere and a boiling stadium; and again with the usual misplaced. The referee had to interrupt the game very early (7′) due to a series of incidents in the visiting stands with the fans from Luca.
As soon as the game resumed, Carlos Paul Benítez whistled a penalty for Luqueño after a shot by Charpentier that hit Pedro Álvarez’s hand. Pérez changed it for a goal (16′).

Cerro was very erratic. He made a mistake at the time of the transition between the lines, which harmed each attempt to bring danger to the visiting area.
Marcelo Moreno Martins had another bad night. He did not get one and the boos were not lacking.
By your side, Sava moved the bank with the income of Alan Núñez (Enzo Giménez), Daniel Rivas (Pedro Álvarez), Fernando Fernández (Marcelo Moreno) and Rafael Carrascal (Lucas Quintana) for the complementary.
But the question was put uphill for the cerristas with the appearance of Charpentierwho scored a great goal that unleashed the auriazul frenzy (61′).

The incidents continued inside the stadium. The police intervened in the visiting stands and chaos was widespread for a few minutes.
And there was more. Because a Barca whirlwind came. First, with the equalizer by Damián Bobadilla (89′) and, almost instantly, with the appearance of Brian Samudio (91′). 3-2 and party in North.

epic outcome.
With this result, Cerro is in fourth place with 11 integers. On his side, Luqueño sinned irresolutely and withdrew from the Obrero neighborhood with a point on his hands (8th with 6). Beware of averages.
