Villarrica, Paraguay – Guaireña secured a crucial 3-1 victory over Deportivo Capiatá at the Parque del Guairá, marking their second triumph of the 2026 División Intermedia season. This win, achieved in dramatic fashion with two goals in quick succession in the second half, will be a significant morale boost for the Albiceleste. After falling behind to a Jorge Benítez goal just before halftime, Guaireña mounted a swift comeback, with Cristian Paredes equalizing in the 70th minute and Agustín Muñoz netting the go-ahead goal just two minutes later. Aaron Monges sealed the victory with a late strike in stoppage time. For Deportivo Capiatá, this match represents a setback. The Escobero, who had started the season strongly, now finds itself winless in its last three matches and has lost its undefeated status. While both teams currently sit on 6 points, Guaireña's ability to come from behind and secure three points demonstrates resilience that will be vital as the season progresses. The División Intermedia remains a tightly contested league, with the top teams separated by only a few points, making every victory, especially a comeback win like this, incredibly valuable.

Guaireña returned to winning ways and celebrated the second victory of the 2026 División Intermedia season.
