Trinidense and 2 de Mayo open Saturday's round in Paraguayan league

The seventh round of the Clausura 2026 tournament in Paraguay commences this afternoon with a match between Sportivo Trinidense and Sportivo 2 de Mayo at the Martín Torres stadium. The game, scheduled for 4:00 PM, will be officiated by Carlos Paul Benítez, with José Armoa in charge of the VAR.

Sportivo Trinidense, referred to as "La Cruz Amarilla," is under pressure to secure victories after a difficult week that saw their exit from the Copa Paraguay. They were eliminated in the round of 32 by Sol de América, making them one of three top-tier teams to exit the tournament prematurely. In the league, the team coached by José Gabriel Arrúa has not won in their last three matches, with one loss and two draws, a stark contrast to their perfect start in the first three rounds.

In contrast, Sportivo 2 de Mayo, known as "El Gallo Norteño," has advanced to the Copa Paraguay's top 16 after defeating Humaitá. For that cup match, they fielded a mixed squad, prioritizing their upcoming league encounter. The team remains the only undefeated side in the league championship.

Following a goalless draw against Guaraní in their last league match, Sportivo 2 de Mayo lost their leading position in the standings to Libertad. A victory today would allow them to reclaim the top spot, pending Libertad's result on Sunday. The coaching duo Eduardo Ledesma and Diego Gavilán are focused on maintaining their unbeaten run and challenging for the title.
