Olimpia Asunción edged out Club Libertad 1-0 in a tense Paraguayan Primera Division superclásico on February 26, 2026. The victory at the Estadio Manuel Ferreira gives Olimpia a league double over their greatest rivals this season and a potentially decisive advantage in the championship race. In a match of high intensity but few clear chances, the breakthrough came in the second half from a moment of controversy, as Olimpia's striker was adjudged to have been fouled in the box and the subsequent penalty was dispatched with confidence. Libertad protested the decision vehemently but could not find an equalizer despite late pressure, with Olimpia's defense holding firm under a barrage of crosses. This 1-0 match result is a massive psychological and practical blow to Libertad's title hopes, while Olimpia moves a significant step closer to another league crown.
