The fifth date of the Clausura Tournament will close today at the Campeón del Siglo stadium, where Peñarol and Racing will play starting at 8 p.m. The Carboneros will seek to equal Danubio in first place and regain their advantage in the Annual Table, where Nacional was four points behind them. Those from Sayago know that if they add up they will get into the Copa Sudamericana zone.

Danubio, leader with 13 points, tied 2-2 on their visit to Wanderers at Parque Viera, where they entered with a two-goal lead at the time of added time. That setback was taken advantage of by Nacional, which beat Progreso 3-0, also in Viera, and reached 11 points.

With 10, in addition to Peñarol and the Bohemians, there appears Boston River, which tied 1-1 with Liverpool in Belvedere, and Rampla Juniors, who tied without goals in their visit to Miramar Misiones, bottom of the average table. The Flintstones are ninth in the Annual and today they would be out of the Copa Sudamericana due to the balance of goals against Progreso. Cerro Largo is three points ahead after defeating Cerro 3-1 in Melo.

Along with Miramar Misiones, Fénix and Deportivo Maldonado are very complicated in the relegation zone. The albivioletas fell 4-3 with River Plate at Parque Saroldi and the red and green ones 3-1 with Defensor Sporting at Franzini. Cerro and Progreso are the rivals to hunt.
