The attacking Julio Enciso He scored a medium purpose of the distance to which Paraguay expanded his idyll under the leadership of Gustavo Alfaro With eight outputs without beating, and tied to 2-2 Barranquilla included ColombiaIt deepens his crisis and has added four games without winning.

The draw on the Barranquilla Metropolitan Stadium, for eleven days of South American qualified in the 2026 World Cup, was the eighth game without losses for Albirroja, fifth with 21 points, while the cafes were sixteen with 20.

The Colombians, led by Néstor Lorenzo, took advantage of the marking of Luis Díaz and Jhon Jader Durán, while the Paraguayans match the goals of Junior Alonso and Enciso.

Locals opened the marking at a collective play in the first minute where Daniel Muñoz, Durán and midfielders Richard Ríos and Jhon Arias were involved, which enabled a pass to Díaz, who removed a hitch from Fabián Valbuena and took a right impossible to stop Roberto Fernández.

The goal, however, did not bite the Albirroja that began attacking Miguel Almirón and Enciso, while Gabriel ávalos began to become a headache for the central Colombia, Jhon Lucumí and Carlos Cuesta.

Despite the Paraguayan forces, Colombia expanded its advantage as soon as possible, to 13, to a deadly counterattack that Arias began to pass James Rodríguez’s feet and came to Díaz, who stood between two rivals to Durán, in the hand, defeated veteran Fernández.

The clearest Paraguay after the goal reached 15 in a playing in which ávalos named and enabled and enabled the starch, with goalkeeper Camilo Vargas was disturbed and took a shot passed by pressing the right post.

Alfaro’s leaders continue to attack and manage to discover at the end of the first stage in a corner kick released by Diego Gómez to pass through the world, along with goalkeeper Camilo Vargas, and Alonso remained the air to a team that did not provide half attack on Barranquilla.

In the second half, Albirroja came out to look for a tie at all, led by Almirón and Enciso, given the defending insecurity of Colombia, which is especially playing closer to Vargas’ goal.

Playing was suspended for a few minutes while Argentine’s referee Facundo Tello reviewed Var, with one of his attendees, for an assumption outside the scorer at the beginning of the play, after which he ended the proof of the goal.

Without James in court, since he left before Enciso, Colombia was wearing a disruption and had a lot of difficulties to approach Fernández’s goal again, while Paraguay retreated and seemed comfortable in this context.

Ultimately, without much creativity despite Díaz’s flashing and steering wheel Jaminton Campaz, the hosts attacked but failed to break the pure Paraguayan defense, which took a new point and day -to -day closer to ensure its classification in the 2026 World Cup thanks to the good moment he lived under the direction of Afo.
