Cold water bucket at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium because despite the fact that Peñarol dominated and had the ball generating more danger, Mauricio Larriera’s team was once again held hostage to its own defensive neglect.
But at 61 ‘and after a free kick by Jesús Trindade from the right of the attack, Nicolás Freitas grabbed Gary Kagelmacher in the area, Christian Ferreyra charged a penalty and Pablo Ceppelini, whom Gonzalo Falcón tried to disperse by winning the yellow card, defined very well and put the 3-2 of the aurinegro.
With the advantage again and with the entry of Cristian Olivera by Juan Acosta for Giovanni González to go to the right side, Peñarol began to better manage the situations of the match. Pablo Ceppelini was huge in the middle of the court and the coalman was in control again, but he did not offer many guarantees in the last zone and that was something that Boston River was willing to continue taking advantage of for its benefit.

At 72 ‘and after a throw-in, Pablo Labandeira took a strong mid-distance shot that passed near the left post of a Kevin Dawson who this time was attentive and accompanied the trajectory of the ball in another play in which the mirasol had trouble defending.
But at 76 ‘, Cristian Olivera hooked in the Boston River area and Pedro Silva Torrejón took him down, Christian Ferreyra took a penalty and a minute later Peñarol changed the player because Agustín Canobbio asked for it but sent the ball out and the mirasol missed a great chance to start finishing the match.
But that tranquility on the scoreboard was given to Peñarol, his scorer. At 85 ‘and after a clearance from the Boston River defense, Agustín Álvarez Martínez appeared again to stop the chest ball and define notable to score the mirasol’s quarter and the second of his personal account.
And as if that were not enough, at 91 ‘and after another good offensive combination, Jesús Trindade grabbed the ball on the edge of the Boston River large area and took a cross shoe to score a goal and put the 5-2 that ended up being the definitive result in the Champion of the Century.
Peñarol ended up closing one night with a very good offensive production because he scored five goals and also achieved his first victory in the 2021 Apertura Tournament, but once again he revealed defensive deficiencies that he must improve in the near future to avoid problems because on Wednesday Larriera’s team will go on stage again to face Plaza Colonia from 6:00 pm, again at home.
