Penarol equaled with racing for the second date of the Intermediate Tournament and the truth is that they lost two points, beyond the unity they won because they still haven’t won in the second short tournament and because the distance with Nacional in the Annual was reduced.
The one that started the date being seven units, was reduced and is now at five after the tie of Diego Aguirre’s team that started winning due to Javier Cabrera’s goal, but could not sustain it because Dylan Nandín tied it.
After the defeat against Wanderers, it is the second game that the aurinegro has not won and is located in the lower positions of Serie A of the Intermediate Tournament, a competition that has historically cost them.
The minute by minute of Ovation:
90+5′ – End of the game!
Peñarol and Racing tied 1-1 in the Champion of the Century and for the second date of the Intermediate Tournament.
85′ – Brilliant Odriozola to avoid Fernández’s goal
Leonardo Fernández once again showed his good punch and took a free kick that Odriozola sent to the corner after handling it and it hit the horizontal.
83′ – Diego Sosa arrived as a leader and complicated
The winger sent the attacker on the left wing, finished from a small angle, but caused a great save from Rodrigo Odriozola who sent the ball to the corner kick.
When the second aurinegro was closer than the Cervecero’s tie, Dylan Nandín went on the attack and defined in a very good way before the departure of Washington Aguerre to equalize.

69′ – The second almost came against us
Nahuel Acosta, who came on in the second half, launched a closed cross that was looking for Leonardo Fernández, Martín Ferreira closed and almost scored an own goal, but it went just wide.
65′ – Peñarol looks for the second and Racing goes for the tie
Forced by the score, the Brewer goes for a goal to equalize, but that can also leave spaces in the background that for now were not taken advantage of by Mirasol.
Leonardo Sequeira started it and Javier Cabrera finished it. He cushioned from the right and defined from the left before the departure of Rodrigo Odriozola to make it 1-0 for the Aurinegro.

34′ – Cabrera was encouraged and almost scored the first
El Cangrejo grew up on the court and with the ball dominated and seeing that no one pressured him, he was encouraged to finish from afar and the shot went just above Odriozola’s goal.

30′ – Coelho saved Peñarol
Speed is Racing’s most dangerous weapon and Agustín Alaníz showed it because he escaped from the left wing and when he sent the center back, the Brazilian defender just appeared, preventing the Brewer’s goal.
20 – Even and very frictional game
Peñarol started better and had the clearest chances of scoring, but could not make a difference on the scoreboard. Given that, Racing was especially encouraged by the speed of its attackers, but it couldn’t hurt Aguerre either.
