The consecration of Penarol for the Uruguayan Super Cup by beating National due to penalties in the Centennial generated celebrations with chicanes and dedication on the part of the aurinegro team towards Maximiliano Silverawho two months ago was playing in the final of the Uruguayan Championship against the tricolors for the carboneros.

The fact that the attacker crossed paths from one season to another provoked the anger of the Mirasols players, who in recent weeks made it publicly known. From a post by Emanuel Gularte even statements of Maxi Oliverathe team made the forward feel their anger.

Silverawho went to greet Diego Aguirre before the start of this Sunday’s classic, he made his official debut in National entering at 63 minutes. With little time on the court, he crossed paths with Eric Remedy, who previously looked for him with the intention of making him enter (with a push and a light blow on the back). Then, he exchanged some arguments with other players and committed – on purpose but typical of a frictional final – a foul on himself. Gularte.

The attacker’s first classic match in the tricolors did not end up being positive, since missed a very clear chance of scoring when he took too much time to define inside the area and score the partial 1-0. His chest control allowed the rivals to close and avoid the goal.

After the consecration, the Peñarol footballers put on a yellow piluso hat with the phrase “200 times bigger”the one that Silvera himself posted after scoring against Nacional in the classic 3-0 win in favor of the Aurinegros in the last Clausura.

As if that were not enough, at the moment of raising the score, the fans began to sing “He who does not jump is a traitor” Some of the players on the team joined in this chant, alternating that reference to Silvera with the classic “give him champion.”

The chicanes continued in networks. After Nacional celebrated the Uruguayan with the ironic phrase “December is long,” Peñarol did not avoid responding after the coronation: “A life in the shadow of the greatest. That is long,” the Aurinegro club wrote on social networks, and published a graph that showed three bars: December (gray, the smallest), ties (yellow, medium) and Peñarol (the largest size, with the text “this is long”).

Peñarol, which reached the final of this Super Cup after winning last year’s Intermedio (with Silvera on the roster), continued celebrating on social media and wrote: “We didn’t want to leave anyone out,” accompanied by a photo of the attacker.
