Wanderers visited Montevideo City Torque at the Centenario Stadium at the close of the third date of the 2023 Apertura Tournament and won. El Bohemio reached seven points and was left as Peñarol’s escort along with Cerro Largo, while the citizen team adds four units.
Wanderers had the first dangerous chance of the match. The ball was left on the croissant and he shot, but the ball missed over the crossbar. At minute 22, Juan Bautista Cejas responded with a long shot after hooking from the left to the middle, and he passed very close to the right upright.
Half an hour into the game, the Bohemian once again generated danger. Santiago Ramírez attacked from the left flank and shot the low cross, which was connected to the edge of the area by Diego Hernández, but his shot went over the crossbar. The first half ended with a long shot by Tiago Palacios, which went very high.
The second half started just as slowly as the first. At minute 56, Álvaro Brun sent the ball into the center of the area with a header after a corner kick and it was finished off with a volley by Sebastián Ribas, but the Bohemian goalkeeper, Mauro Silveira, kept the ball.
The goals were not seen coming from anywhere, but at minute 63, Hernández filtered the ball for Pais, who defined strongly and opened the scoring for the team led by Sergio Blanco. Immediately, Hernández had the second with a long shot that missed the post.
In the end, Palacios faced from the right, sent the cross and the ball bounced off Francisco Cerro, but Silveira was attentive and avoided the own goal. In added time, Nicolás Siri crossed for Ribas and he finished off, but found the goalkeeper well off, who caught the ball.
At 90+3′, Kevin Altez received in the area and volleyed a shot, but Emiliano García dived and sent the ball into the corner before he finished off. Despite suffering until the end, Wanderers managed to hold on and took the three points from the Centenario Stadium.
