The second round of the Clausura tournament kicks off this Tuesday with a match between Rubio Ñu and Sportivo Ameliano at the La Arboleda stadium in the Santísima Trinidad neighborhood. The game is scheduled to start at 4:00 PM.

Rubio Ñu enters this match with the imperative to secure a victory. The team, currently fighting to remain in the top division, cannot afford to lose more points after suffering a 1-0 defeat in their opening game against Sportivo 2 de Mayo in Pedro Juan Caballero. They hope that the numerous reinforcements brought in for this season will start to translate into improved performance under coach Felipe Giménez.

Their opponents, Sportivo Ameliano, also failed to secure a win in the first round, having drawn their match against Nacional.

Therefore, Rubio Ñu faces a demanding test as they aim to achieve their first win of the season.
