Paraguay Wrap: Lowly Capiata hold Libertad

Pedro Sarabia's side entered the fixture at their Estadio Dr Nicolas Leoz home having scored 35 goals in 14 matches this season, but were held goalless for the second time in the campaign as Capiata earned a valuable point.

Libertad are still well clear at the helm of Paraguay's top flight on 36 points, with Guarani (27) their closest challenger.

Guarani beat Sportivo Luqueno 1-0 courtesy of Jorge Benitez's 34th-minute goal, as they held onto second spot despite wins to Olimpia (third, 26) and Nacional Asuncion (fourth, 23).

Neri Cardozo struck either side of Derlis Gonzalez's goal, to cap a nine-minute bonanza in the first half from Olimpia.
