Cerro Porteño was complicated at the end, but beat Sportivo Trinidense (3-2). Now wait to see what happens tomorrow with the pointer, Libertad.
Azulgranas and auriazules met today in the Nueva Olla for date 13 of the Apertura 2023 tournament.
El Ciclón exhibited good football and brought together most of the situations, although those from Santísima Trinidad were not far behind either. and -when they could- they brought danger to the local goal.

Things did not improve for Trinidad in the complementary. A new blow had to be added to the lack of weight in offense. Fer Fer signed the second of his personal harvest, the third of Cerro and settled the issue (55 ‘).
Doublet! Fernando Fernández scored the third for the Barca team.

The last minutes were of pure Barcelona suffering, but there were no more goals.
With this result, Cerro Porteño adds 26 units and, for the moment, is parked three from the pointer Libertad (29), who plays tomorrow with Resistencia.
By your side, Trinidadian fell again after two wins in a row and stagnated in fifth place in the classification (18).
