Peñarol receives Danubio at the Campeón del Siglo stadium for the eleventh date of the Apertura Tournament. Aurinegro, who comes from a goalless draw against Cerro Largo, is the only leader with 21 points, two more than the Arachán team itself and Defensor Sporting, who are the two guards.
The first dangerous chance of the match came 2 minutes into the game when Nicolás Rossi received on the right wing, left his marker down the road with speed and yielded to the middle, where Matías Arezo was, who defined as a cue on the edge of the small area , but the ball hit the side of the net on the wrong side. On minute 14, Peñarol was narrowly saved after Diego Vera was unable to deflect a low cross from Franco González in the small area, which was lost wide.
The locals responded immediately with a great individual play by Rossi on the right, driving the defender crazy, which ended in a cross shot from Arezo that passed close to the post. At 17′, Arezo received on the edge of the area, gave way to Sebastián Rodríguez and he, in the croissant, stepped on the ball, adjusted his body and took the shot, which skimmed the crossbar.
Until, at 37′, Arezo headed back a long ball thrown by Hernán Menosse, it was left to Able Hernández, who fooled the defender with a hook inside the area and defined before Mauro Goicochea’s quick departure to open the scoring. At the end of the first half, Lucas Hernández fought for the ball in the left corner of his attack and crossed to Hernández, who headed in and forced Goicoechea to intervene.
