Olimpia had a chance to move closer to the top of Paraguay’s 2026 Clausura standings, but the 1-1 draw with Guaraní left the defending champions five points behind leaders 2 de Mayo.

The result came after 2 de Mayo drew 2-2 with Sportivo Luqueño at the Río Parapití and Libertad lost 3-0 to Nacional at the Arsenio Erico. Olimpia therefore failed to take advantage of the leaders’ dropped points.

The draw did help Olimpia reduce the gap to second-place Libertad, who have 16 points. But the champions remain behind Nacional, third with 15, and Sportivo Trinidense, fourth with 14 after a 3-0 win over Sportivo Ameliano. Olimpia have 13 points.

The eighth round was due to end with Recoleta FC against Cerro Porteño at 6:30 p.m. Paraguay time at the Luis Salinas stadium in Itauguá. Recoleta and Cerro Porteño each had seven points, leaving them 11 points behind 2 de Mayo.
