Sportivo Iteno and Martin Ledesma End All Square in Paraguayan Cup

Sportivo Iteno and Martin Ledesma played out a 1-1 draw in the Paraguayan Cup on June 3, 2026. The evenly matched contest at Iteno’s home venue kept the tie open ahead of the return leg.

The hosts started brightly, pressing high and forcing early errors from the Martin Ledesma defence. Their efforts paid off when a well-worked move down the right flank ended with a low cross that was turned home at the near post. Iteno took a 1-0 lead that they held into the break.

Martin Ledesma responded with renewed energy after half-time. They began to dominate possession and pinned Iteno back in their own half. The equaliser came midway through the second period when a long-range effort took a deflection off a defender and nestled into the corner of the net. Both sides had late chances to snatch a winner, but the final score remained 1-1.

The result means the second leg, to be played at Martin Ledesma’s ground, is finely poised. Sportivo Iteno will rue not converting more of their first‑half chances, while the visitors will be confident of progressing on home soil.
