Montevideo City Torque Y South America they came across different realities on the first date of the Apertura Tournament. The “citizens” arrived in full swing for the international competition, which led the coach to put an alternative team, while the “mailbox” arrived at this game with almost six months without official matches.
In any case, it was those led by Claudio Biaggio who took the three points thanks to a goal from Pablo Olivera that made the only difference on the scoreboard.
The match
Better, impossible. This is how South America returned to the First Division because he kept the three points and showed very interesting things from the hand of Claudio “Pampa” Biaggio. Of course, Pablo Olivera’s goal, which made the only difference on the scoreboard, gets all the applause, but it also highlights what was done in offense in general.
Montevideo City Torque, who played with an alternative team thinking about the South American Cup, went out to look for the goal quickly and Matías Cóccaro generated the first chance at 3 ‘with a shot that went just wide.
Cóccaro himself had the second possibility of scoring for the local with a shot that was destined for an arc, but that just bounced off a rival. Little by little, the “mailbox” began to complicate the “citizens” and especially pressing the exit of a team with three men.

Bruno Giménez started the play on the left and played for Olivera who was at the door of the area. He raised his head, opened his foot and hung it from the angle to beat Guruceaga and make it 1-0.
Olivera himself had the second and third clear chances for South America, but poor aim and the rival goalkeeper prevented the gap from widening before the end of the first half.
Forced by the scoreboard, Marini sought to change with variations from the start of the second half and despite the fact that he continued to put the usual starters on the court, the “citizens” could not show the dapper game that was seen on other occasions.

The scoring chances that Cóccaro and Guerrero had were more by dedication and incessant search than by plays with the style that characterizes Montevideo City Torque.
South America began to feel comfortable on the court as the minutes passed and thus ended up with the three points and also with the joy of returning to the top flight with a win.
