River Plate vs Nacional

River Plate gave Nacional a real fright at Parque Saroldi in this Copa Uruguay Group E clash, but a first-half salvo from the visitors proved decisive as Nacional held on for a 3-2 win. Tiziano Correa's brace kept the hosts in the fight until the end, but Nacional's response before the break settled the tie. Correa opened the scoring for River Plate in just the 7th minute, only for Nacional to hit back fast: Matías Escobar equalized at 12', L. Montaos put the visitors ahead at 26', and Maximiliano Burruzzo made it 3-1 at 30'. Correa's second goal, in first-half stoppage time around the 40th minute, set up a nervy finish but River Plate couldn't find an equalizer. The result keeps Nacional's group-stage push alive after a flat draw with Albion, while River Plate's group lead takes a hit just days after they'd beaten Progreso 2-0 to sit top of Group E.
