San Francisco claimed the sole victory in the top flight of the Liga del Sur’s Clausura tournament, defeating Libertad 2-1 to capture the early lead in the standings, according to regional sports reporting from La Nueva. The weekend’s second round of fixtures across the Primera A and Primera B divisions concluded with a series of hard-fought draws and a commanding shutout in the lower tier.

San Francisco sits atop the Primera A table with six points after two matches, following a home victory against Libertad at the weekend. According to match reports from La Nueva, Libertad struck first when Nelson Avello opened the scoring in the opening minute of the match. San Francisco recovered before halftime, as Alexis Vega leveled the score in the 24th minute and Leonel Romero secured the 2-1 win with a goal in the 43rd minute under referee Mariano Perretti.
