Sunday brings a decisive round of second-leg semi-finals in Paraguay’s Nacional B, the lower-tier competition run by the Unión del Fútbol del Interior (UFI). Both 3 de Febrero of Ciudad del Este and Guaraní de Fram need to overturn their first-leg results to reach the final stage of the tournament.
Corrales look to hold their lead in Ciudad del Este
In the Santa Ana neighbourhood of Ciudad del Este, Corrales and 3 de Febrero meet at 16:00 local time. Corrales won the first leg 1-0 at the Antonio Aranda stadium, so 3 de Febrero must find a way back into the tie on home soil.
Quinceno defend a narrow lead at Guaraní
Guaraní de Fram will host the reigning champions, Quinceno FC (15 de Mayo), at their ground in Itapúa. Quinceno took the first meeting 1-0 at the Parque del Guairá in Villarrica, leaving the hosts with a one-goal deficit to erase.
How the tie will be decided
If the aggregate scores are level on points, the goal difference will separate the sides. If parity remains, the qualifiers will be determined by a penalty shootout. The final will be contested over two legs, and the champion will earn promotion to the División Intermedia, the second tier of the Paraguayan Football Association.
