Cerro Porteño received Peñarol today in the Nueva Olla for the third date of Group G.
The team led by Francisco ‘Chiqui’ Arce showed more integrity and brought danger through wide passages, while exposing themselves to the cons of the seasoned Charrúa cast.
El Ciclón struck at the end of the first stage at the hands of Ángel Cardozo Lucena, who defined how it came in a move that seemed to take no risk for the aurinegro background (45’+1′).
Cerro did not get it cheap and had to resort to changes to replace Sergio Díaz and Alan Benítez. The second would have a muscle injury and the corresponding report is awaited.
Peñarol was not able to break the goal defended by the Brazilian Jean and made it his second loss in the competition in Barça’s feud.
With this result, Cerro Porteño adds 7 points and stands in first place. They are followed by Colón de Santa Fe and Peñarol, with 3 integers. Olimpia closes the table with only 1 point.
The panorama of the Group will be clearer when Olimpia and Colón meet tomorrow in the Defensores del Chaco.
