Nacional 1 – Colón 1 for the Diego Vera Cup: José Neris placed equality for Sabalero – Updated news from Uruguay and the world

National is measured against Columbus of Santa Fe starting at 9:30 p.m. at the Gran Parque Central Stadium. The tricolor, who has just lost on penalties against Vélez Sarsfield, wants a victory in front of his fans.

The two teams will compete for the Diego Vera Cup, in honor of Viruta, a striker with a past in both clubs. The crossing is part of the friendly series of the Río de la Plata Series.

After announcing the arrival of Gastón Pereiro, the albo is looking for a victory that will give him confidence to continue preparing for the following friendlies, especially with the clásico on January 23 in his sights, which will be played at the Centenario Stadium.

Nacional will have three of its reinforcements in the starting eleven: Fabián Noguera, Daniel Bocanegra and Marcos Montiel.

In the first minutes of the game it was Colón who took the initiative and even had a clear chance to score: after eight minutes Troncoso sent a filtered pass to José Neris, a former Albion player, and the forward defined tight to Rochet’s right post, although it lacked some precision for it to be a goal.

The tricolor, who just played his second game of the preseason, did not finish finding an oiled performance in the midfield, which had Yonathan Rodríguez along with Diego Rodríguez from the start.

The first approach for Ricardo Zielinski’s team came after 21 minutes after a cross to the far post that Gigliotti headed in and, after a rebound, led to a corner kick.

Then, after 35 minutes, the first of the albo was about to arrive: Cándido moved in speed, opened it for Almeida and, after the center, Zabala could not define with precision. On the rebound it was Gigliotti who tried the shot, but Sabalero’s defense hindered him.

The visit’s response came with a shot from Vega that did not represent too much danger for Sergio Rochet’s goal.
At the beginning of the complement, the albo began to grow with a circuit marked by the left sector and growth in the work of Zabala and Cándido.

In fact, the goal came after an association of Didi with the number 10, which he defined with precision once he had the goal at his mercy.
