KEY MATCH. At another time, Monges was asked about the sports situation. In this regard, he regretted the initial defeats and sees the match against Sol as crucial in the competition restart.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't start the first six games well, we are aware that we need to improve the situation and the team's performance. We are one game away from breathing better. The 9th match, against Sol d'América, is key for us," he said.
REACTIVATION. The medical committee of the Paraguayan Football Association will begin the second inspection of the clubs' facilities on Tuesday to verify compliance with the suggestions given during the first visit as part of Phase 0 of the health protocol.

If everything goes as planned, the Apertura tournament will return on July 17 behind closed doors, following this progressive schedule for the teams and under strict measures that will continue to be supervised by health authorities.
