The Academy was the one that took the initiative when proposing in attack, generating numerous incursions towards the goal of Carlos Servin, who with important interventions knew how to keep zero… for two thirds of the match.
Pedro Sarabia bet on variants, among which Facundo Bruera’s appeared. The Argentine striker would not go unnoticed when he entered: at 61 minutes, he beat the ‘Tacua’ goalkeeper with a header and made the difference.
The 1-0 was maintained until the end, a result that leaves Nacional at the top of the Clausura with 18 points, two above Libertad and Olimpia, who play tomorrow against Cerro Porteño and on October 12, respectively.
Tacuary, meanwhile, cut a streak of five rounds without falls and remains with 14 units.
