The Cerro Porteno Courier

Cerro Porteno through in the cup
A 1‑0 win over Libertad, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Cerro Porteno win it in stoppage time
The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 104th minute. Libertad will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Veracruz come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Cerro Porteno did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Gustavo Velázquez in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Cerro Porteno this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Pablo Vegetti falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Cerro Porteno lose Darío Espínola

The afternoon belonged to Pablo Vegetti
A mark of 7.35, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Talks stall between Cerro Porteno and Alan Núñez
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
