Club Sport Colombia Edge Past Sportivo Iteno 2-1 in PAR D3 Thriller

A dramatic second-half comeback saw Club Sport Colombia defeat Sportivo Iteno 2–1 in Paraguay’s Tercera División on May 24, 2026. The match at Estadio Don Bosco was a tense affair, with both sides showing attacking ambition in an entertaining contest.

Itino Strike First

Sportivo Iteno took the lead against the run of play in the 34th minute. A swift counter-attack caught the Colombia defence off guard, and forward Luis Cabrera finished calmly after a through ball from midfield. The goal spurred Iteno into a more defensive posture, inviting pressure from the hosts.

Colombia’s Response

Club Sport Colombia dominated possession in the second half and finally levelled in the 67th minute. A corner kick was only partially cleared, and the ball fell to Carlos Benítez, who drilled a half-volley through a crowd of players into the bottom corner. The stadium erupted as the home side found renewed energy.

The winner came just ten minutes later. A lovely interchange between the left winger and the overlapping full-back created space for Pedro Acosta to cross. His delivery found substitute Marcos Ríos at the far post, who headed powerfully past the goalkeeper to make it 2–1.

Late Drama and Standings Implications

Itino pushed for an equaliser in the final minutes but were thwarted by a combination of solid defending and two smart saves from Colombia’s goalkeeper Hugo Giménez. The win lifts Club Sport Colombia into the top five of the PAR D3 table, while Iteno slip into the bottom half.

• Goal scorers: Luis Cabrera (34’), Carlos Benítez (67’), Marcos Ríos (77’)
• Man of the match: Carlos Benítez – goal and tireless midfield work
• Yellow cards: 4 for Colombia, 3 for Iteno

Club Sport Colombia will aim to continue their upward momentum next week against Olimpia de Itá, while Sportivo Iteno face a relegation battle at home to bottom side General Caballero.
