Peñarol
Platense
Platense stunned Peñarol with a resilient 2-1 victory at the Estadio Campeón del Siglo, capitalizing on their clinical finishing despite being outplayed for large periods. Guido Mainero's early header from Tomás Silva's cross gave the visitors a shock lead after 22 minutes. Peñarol dominated possession (52%) and created more big chances (3-2), but their wastefulness in front of goal proved costly as they missed two clear opportunities. Matías Arezo's equalizer on 58 minutes seemed to shift momentum, but Franco Zapiola's penalty just five minutes later restored Platense's advantage and proved to be the winner. The match descended into chaos in the final minutes with Franco Escobar receiving a second yellow card and multiple bookings for dissent, highlighting the desperation of the home side as they failed to find a second equalizer despite their territorial dominance.
