Cerro Porteño received today October 12 at the General Pablo Rojas stadium for date 1 of the Clausura 2022 tournament.
Before kick-off, there was an emotional tribute to Francisco Arce and his family, who received a commemorative plaque for the tournament bearing the name of Alexandro Javier Arce Añazco, the deceased son of the Barça coach.
And the game did not disappoint. October 12 he obeyed the need that moves him (average) in this semester and Cerro Porteño with the pressure of corresponding to the role of candidate for the title.
Víctor ‘Topo’ Cáceres honored the former’s law and put the visitors ahead very early (10′). However, the Cyclone finished settling down on the court and turned it around in the blink of an eye; first, the long-awaited goal by Bolivian Marcelo Moreno Martins (27′) and, later, with a terrible shot by Alan Rodríguez (30′).
The complementary was a real show of situations, in both areas. Cerro brought a lot of danger with all the power of his attack, but on the 12th he also put Brazilian goalkeeper Jean to work with his fast and deep counterattacks.
Many strong legs, desire and chances, but aim was lacking. Cerro Porteño held on and achieved an auspicious victory in his debut.
For its part, October 12 knows that it must raise its head, and quickly. The gap shrinks with each game that he fails to add and, if he continues on this path, he will end up complicated in the fight to escape the dreaded relegation.
