Wanderers secured a crucial away victory despite surrendering their commanding two-goal lead, with early strikes from Luciano Cosentino and Jonás Luna putting the visitors in complete control within the opening quarter-hour. Cerro Largo's halftime substitution of Gustavo Daniel Viera Moreira proved immediately effective as A. Pandiani pulled one back just after the restart, setting up a tense final 43 minutes. The match descended into a physical battle with six yellow cards distributed across both sides, but Wanderers managed their slender advantage professionally to claim all three points and potentially climb away from the lower reaches of the Primera División table.
