Two fans of the most popular Paraguayan soccer teams, Olimpia and Cerro Porteno, yesterday were bullet wounded before the game played in the closing tournament.

One of the fans, 21, was standing at a bus stop together with other Olimpia's fans when a passing motorcyclist shot him on his right thigh, for which he was hospitalized but was out of danger.
