After finishing the match, Roque Caballero told Prensa Libre how the clash with his Municipal rival, Edgardo Fariña, occurred at minute 43 of the first half.
“When I was on the floor, he came and kicked me in the head and that’s when I got up and asked him why.”Caballero said, once the 0-0 score in the first leg played at the Santo Domingo de Guzmán stadium was finished.

“Then I went to drink water, and when I turned around, I felt the blow and it knocked me down because it was very strong and it was from behind. It was an act of cowardice, but nothing happens, we have to hold on”said the 33-year-old Paraguayan soccer player, who has been performing in Mixco since 2022.
Looking ahead to the second leg at the Manuel Felipe Carrera, next Sunday at 2:30 p.m., Caballero stressed that they must seek to repeat what they have accomplished so far as visitors in the championship to get a good result.
As for Fariña, we need to wait to see what the League’s Disciplinary Body resolves, however, it is worth mentioning that, according to the regulations, in principle there could be up to 3 months of punishment for the scarlet footballer.
For its part, a well-known account that supports the mayor’s club published a video in which they stated that Caballero was the one who provoked Fariña by uttering racist insults. In any case, in the short, you cannot see what he says, because the Guaraní puts his hand to his mouth so that what he says cannot be seen.
