Universal Claims Helvetic League Clausura Title, Sets Stage for Championship Decider
Montevideo, Uruguay – Universal secured the Clausura Tournament championship in the Helvetic League’s First Division B with a dominant 8-1 victory over Racing on Sunday. The win sets up a highly anticipated semifinal clash against New Horizons, the Apertura and annual table champions, to determine the overall season titleholder.
New Horizons also secured a key victory, defeating Zapicán 2-0, solidifying their position as annual table leaders and earning them a direct path to the semifinal. Universal lifted the “Deporte Radio 89.9″ Cup as Clausura champions,but the ultimate league title remains on the line. Should New Horizons win the semifinal, they will be crowned overall champions. However, a Universal victory would necessitate a championship-deciding final match. The League is expected to announce details of the semifinal fixture in the coming hours.
