Recoleta Makes History by Reaching Copa Paraguay Final

Recoleta has made history by becoming the first team from their club to reach a Copa Paraguay final after defeating Libertad 5-4 in a penalty shootout. The match ended 1-1 after extra time, with Recoleta’s Alejandro Silva scoring the equalizing goal.

The game was intense and closely contested, with Libertad taking an early lead through Iván Ramírez’s powerful free kick. However, Recoleta dominated the second half, with the introduction of substitutes Alejandro Silva and Wilfrido Báez making a significant impact on the game.

Libertad’s chances were further diminished when Federico Carrizo and Lorenzo Melgarejo were sent off, leaving them to defend desperately against Recoleta’s attacks. The Canario team eventually found the equalizer through a penalty committed by Hugo Fernández, sending the match into extra time.

In the end, it was Recoleta who emerged victorious in the penalty shootout, with Libertad failing to convert their final two penalties. Jorge González’ team will now face either Cerro Porteño or Sol de América in the Copa Paraguay final on Sunday.
