Maxi Pereira and Nico Gaitán, who were teammates at Benfica and then rivals (when the full-back moved to FC Porto), but who never stopped being friends, went back to partying together for Peñarol.
After winning the Clausura Tournament in Uruguay, they now beat Plaza Colonia, winner of the Apertura Tournament, in the final that decided the absolute champion of the season.
The match ended in a draw (1-1) and had to be decided by penalties, with Gaitán converting the decisive kick.
