Peñarol dominated the opening exchanges with two quick-fire goals through Matías Arezo and Luis Angulo, establishing a commanding 2-0 lead within 26 minutes. The match descended into chaos before halftime as both teams received red cards - first Agustín Miranda for a second yellow, then Maximiliano Olivera for a straight red - leaving both sides with ten men. Despite Cerro pulling one back through Cristian Barros' penalty just before the break, Peñarol controlled the second half and sealed victory with another Nicolás Fernández penalty in the 90th minute. This comprehensive victory strengthens Peñarol's position in the Primera División table while Cerro's discipline issues continue to hamper their campaign.
