The historic Santiago Salcedo tied Sol de América in extremis against Olimpia (2-2) in a vibrant finale. The Dean lost the lead and Derlis González, who saw a direct red card, will not be against Guaraní and Nacional.
Olimpia today received Sol de América in Para Uno for date 10 of the Clausura 2022 tournament.
Rare atmosphere with the low presence of the unicolor fans, a strong police operation at the entrances to the stadium and the fringed partiality that closed Mariscal López Avenue to encourage their supporters.
Olimpia scored the fifth box from the start and took it to Sol. He generated situations to ask for, but the visit was the one that broke the zero in the first incursion that he managed to articulate from the hand of Tomas Rojas (23′).
Julio Cáceres’s team felt the blow, did not despair and quickly leveled it with a penalty executed by Alejandro Silva (31′), a move confirmed by video arbitration.
The homeowner showed more ambition, applied infernal pressure and, as a result of this paradigm, forced the error of the Solense fund that Derlis González took advantage of to place the ball over the goalkeeper and decree the comeback (43′).
The panorama did not change in the complementary and, once again, Olimpia directed the game.
At 52′ the VAR deprived Olimpia of an own goal by Oscar Coronel due to Brian Montenegro’s interference (offside).
Cáceres decided to keep his foot on the accelerator and sent Guillermo Paiva and Marcos Gómez to close the file. Sol responded with the start of striker Cristian Duma in search of parity.
And the last 20 ‘were a clean card. Referee Mario Díaz de Vivar first expelled Solense coach Pablo Guiñazú, and then showed Derlis González a direct red card, who left Olimpia with 10 (71’).
The Dean withdrew his lines and gave up a lot of ground without the presence of his main offensive reference. He went from dominating to dominated and extreme resources in order to withstand the advances of a rival who tilted the field in the direction of his goal.
Sun was a storm. He hammered until he could not and found his prize over 90 ‘+ 3’ with a ball connected by the historic Paraguayan soccer scorer, Santiago Salcedo, who entered two minutes earlier, for 2-2.
Olimpia will have a lot to analyze. In addition to losing the lead (20 points), now held by Cerro Porteño and Nacional (21), he must find a way to fill the void left by Derlis González. On the 10th he will not be able to play against Nacional and Guaraní, a priori the games that can define his fate.
Point that serves for the Solense ‘championship’, which looks askance at its situation in the rigorous table of averages.
