Paraguay. Club Oriental won the Second Division.
‘Los Uruguayos’, hailing from La Chacarita district of Asuncion were founded in 1912, but this was their best ever year – winning the Second Division for the first, and also last time. Historic season for the club.
First division was… nothing exceptional.
Libertad and
Cerro Porteno apparently were not a factor. On the other hand Sol de America finished 2nd , enjoying perhaps their best period.
Sol de America finished 2nd – they were silver medalists in 1978 and 1979 as well, so they were consistently aiming high. It was not the end of the period – even better achievements laid in the near future.
The champions were more than familiar – Olimpia.
Olimpia was arguably in their best period of all time. In 1981 they won 4th consecutive title and it was not the end of their dominance. Altogether – 27th title. Even Cerro Porteno was just a distant rival by now.
