Independiente CG advances in Copa Paraguay with dominant 10-0 win

Independiente de Campo Grande demonstrated its superior class in the Copa Paraguay, crushing Atlético Naciones Unidas 10-0 to advance to the third round of the tournament.

The match, held at the Estadio Ricardo Grégor, was a one-sided affair as the team from the División Intermedia showcased its attacking prowess against the representative of the Unión del Fútbol del Interior (UFI). With this resounding victory, Independiente CG, managed by Claudio Vargas, earned a direct ticket to Phase 3, eliminating the reigning champion of the Boquerón Department.

The scoring was distributed across the team, with Gastón Oviedo notably scoring a brace. Other goal scorers included Dramane Diarra, Víctor Rivarola, Ronald Roa, Esteban Mendoza, Denis Zárate, Fabricio Ortiz, Diego Aguada, and Rafael Román, highlighting a comprehensive team performance.

Having comfortably navigated this tie, Independiente CG now sets its sights on a more challenging opponent in the next phase. They are scheduled to face Sportivo Ameliano, the 2022 Copa Paraguay champions and a team from the División de Honor, in what is expected to be a significantly tougher contest.
