Cerro vs Peñarol

Peñarol edged past Cerro 2-1 at the Tróccoli on Saturday, needing a stunning late save to hold on. In stoppage time, goalkeeper Washington Aguerre somehow kept out Jairo Amaro's close-range effort with his leg to preserve the win. Peñarol struck first through Matías Arezo, who finished off a slick counter-attack in the 13th minute. Cerro hit back quickly, with Emiliano Rodríguez pouncing on a defensive mistake by Germán Pezzella to level it in the 25th. The winner arrived in the 76th minute, as Leonel Jaime ran onto a pass from Abel Hernández and buried a fierce left-footed strike. No cards of note were shown in an even, hard-fought contest. The win lifted Peñarol to the top of the Tabla Anual under coach Diego Aguirre, keeping their title push on track. For Cerro, still scrapping to pull clear of the relegation zone, it was a missed chance to close the gap despite a spirited response.
