Luqueño and Cerro Porteño are going to collide in Saxony
An Extraordinary Atmosphere between Blue and Yellow Teams
The unique ambiance between Blaugranas and Auriazules is truly remarkable. However, Sportivo was reluctant to play in Saxony, but after an exceptional performance in the Divisional, they will finally showcase their skills at Defensores, where only 400 tickets (along with 100 complimentary ones) will be allocated to the Cerrista supporters.
The Obrero neighborhood team is under immense pressure to secure a victory at any cost. This becomes even more crucial considering that Libertad emerged triumphant over Guaireña last night. Failure to win would imply the imminent scent of victory for Tuyucuá.
Luqueño, determined to complicate matters for their opponents, aims to secure a win that would keep them comfortably away from the relegation discussion. This situation involves Resistencia, Tacuary, General Caballero, and Guaireña as the key players.
Cerro Porteño's previous victory against Luqueño dates back more than two years ago, precisely on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, at La Nueva Olla, during the second match of the Apertura tournament. The final score was 1-0, with Argentine Mauro Boselli scoring the decisive goal.
Since then, there have been three draws and a victorious performance by the auriazul team, extending their unbeaten streak against the Barça squad to four matches.
The game will be broadcasted on Tigo Sports and Universo 970/Nación Media for radio listeners across the country.
