Olimpia de Asuncion outmuscled LIBERTAD during the dispute of the 2nd round game of the SEMI FINAL CUADRANGULAR
of this 10th NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Very well coached by Juan Feliu Olimpia de Asuncion managed its efforts to have enough gas in the tank to overcome every time
Libertad Asuncion got close to them. The game was very close during the first half but Olimpia de Asuncion lead all the way.

We thought the defense applied by Viveros to Edgar Riveros (184-PG-91) was going to make profits which it did buty never we calculated

that Manuel Aponte (179-PG-92) was going to be ejected from the game leaving Libertad Asuncion without its best offense option from long distance range.

Permanent defense switches, strong pushing in the perimeter and inside the paint were very difficult to manage by Libertad Asuncion
while Osorio, Poisson and Adolfo Lopez (199-F-89) with the help of Matias Mercado (175-G-91) were making big holes in offense and the total control
of rebounds in defense.

Libertad Asuncion tried to comeback twice, one in the 3rd quarter and also in the fourth quarter, but we all could tell that the effort was too much
from individual players and not a smooth and coordinated plan.

Great production from long distance from Alenjadro Peralta and Juan Poisson (198-C-98) at clutch times, and also great emotional effort from Lucho Ljubetic
to take this important win after losing the first round against Deportivo San Jose Asuncion. Right now it seems that Olimpia in reaching a great
level of performace. We can even say they are reaching its best level in the season. However, Libertad who had come down very
dangerously in the positions table will come next round very strong to try to recover the points lost agains the Olimpia Kings
