It was 2-0 against Fénix, which is sinking into relegation.
Florida was the city that witnessed the closing of the third date of the Clausura. There, Boston River, this season playing at home in the Campeones Olímpicos, beat Fénix 2-0 with goals from Leandro Suhr and Bruno Damiani.
The match was a game of little interest, almost a nod to Monday. The first half was short on offensive attention and there were several clashes, so many that the highlight was the forced exit of the Sastre full-back Emanuel Beltrán due to a cut and the subsequent transfer to a local health insurance company for further tests. According to what was learned at the end of the match, Beltrán had no serious injuries (see box).
In the second half, Boston struck right from the start. He did so with a good cross-shot from Suhr: he found it in the three-quarter line of the field, faced it, adjusting it for his good leg, and hit a right-footed shot that was unstoppable for Emiliano Márquez. In the end, with the result not in danger for the home team, Damiani – who had a great game, especially being collaborative with his teammates from the post – pushed, as he well knows, entering through the second post to close a meager process.

Fénix is starting to get into trouble. It is slowly sinking into the relegation table, where it is second to last (see table). Capurro’s team will have to put in a more than good development and finishing of the Clausura if it wants to remain in the category.
Boston is another matter. These three points are worth twofold: in the Clausura, they are three points behind the leader, Danubio; in the Annual Table they have reached the points of Defensor Sporting, and although they are far behind Peñarol and Nacional, they currently occupy a qualifying position for next year’s Copa Libertadores.
Alarm and calm for Beltrán
Emanuel Beltrán was taken off the field and then taken to a health center after a blow that caused a cut and subsequent dizziness. At the health center he underwent tests for the impact on the head. Boston River’s health department reported that he is stable, out of any health concerns.
