A new goal from the scorer Enzo Borges allowed that Deportivo Maldonado will draw 1-1 against Peñarol on the sixth day of Uruguayan Opening Tournament, a result with which he retained the first position in the classification. Strong on an offensive level and excited about the present they live in, those led by young Francisco Palladino continue to dream of winning their first title in the First Division, although they know that to do so they still have to overcome several difficult matches. One of these will be against their closest rival, Montevideo Wanderers, who this weekend went from suffering to happiness in a few minutes and ended their match against Nacional clutching their heads.
In the most emotional match of the sixth stage, the team led by Pablo Repetto began winning thanks to a goal from the Colombian Alex Castro and had several options to continue long. However, Wanderers came back in surprising fashion with as many of Hernan Rivero at 77 minutes and Diego Hernandez in the absence of one by the end of regulation time. The celebration of that goal provoked the reaction of his rivals and a long discussion that ended with three footballers expelled, who were joined minutes later by another two. Winning 2-1, the team led by Daniel Carreño climbed to first place in the table. However, a note from Franco Fagundez at 98 minutes he sealed the tie that left Wanderers second and kept Deportivo Maldonado up. Meanwhile, Nacional is tenth with just one match won after six disputed.
On the other hand, this Monday Danubio also missed an opportunity in his match against Montevideo City Torque. At 90 minutes, the team led by Jorge Fossati won 1-0 with a goal from Nicholas Rodriguez, a result that allowed him to climb from sixth to third position. However, the citizen team took away that possibility by equalizing thanks to a goal from the defender Renzo Orihuela.
Also this Monday, Boston River and Defensor Sporting tied 1-1. Over the weekend, in other matches of the day, Liverpool regained victory after three games by beating Rentistas 1-0, while Plaza Colonia and Albion drew 1-1. In addition, River Plate beat Fénix 3-1 with a goal from former Mallorca, Real Sociedad and Málaga player Gonzalo ‘Chory’ Castro. This Tuesday, the day will come to an end with the duel between Cerro Largo, which will try to get out of the bottom of the table, and Cerrito.
