15 Nov 11:08

The Paraguay Cup already knows the two teams that will fight for the title in the 2021 edition and that will be the third champion of the competition, which began to be played in 2018 and in 2020 had a pause due to the pandemic.

There was a name that was repeated in the two previous finals, but that in this edition was quickly left out: Guaraní. El Aborigen had won the title in 2018 and was runner-up in 2019, but in 2021 he was eliminated in the first phase against Christopher Columbus of Ñemby.

While Olimpia again agreed to the defining match after having done it in 2018, where he fell on penalties after an emotional 2-2 against Guaraní in the 90 minutes and this season he will go for the title that escaped three years ago.

For his part, the reigning champion Libertad was looking to revalidate his title, but could not against Olimpia in the penalty shootout and was left with the desire.

In this way and after two disputed finals, the “new” name in the defining instance is Sol de América, Juan Pablo Pumpido’s team that throughout the competition left out February 3, Rubio Ñu, Cerro Porteño, Santaní and Tembetary and will seek to strike in the final against Franjeado.
