Soccer fans in Uruguay could not ask for more for the return of the competition. Without preamble, this same Sunday the two teams with the highest number of players in the country, Nacional and Peñarol , will face each other at 3pm at the Centenario Stadium. For Argentina, the Uruguayan soccer classic , which takes place behind closed doors, is televised by TyC Sports.

The two teams are looking to reclaim themselves after having had weak starts in the tournament, unexpectedly led by Rentistas, who drew 1-1 against Liverpool this Saturday.

Nacional barely adds two points in three games, the product of two draws and one fall. And his eternal rival, where Diego Forlán makes his first weapons as a coach, got four units thanks to a win, a draw and a defeat.

The sanitary protocol for the date establishes, among other measures, that only authorized people who have undergone the COVID-19 test with a negative result can enter the playing field, the technical area and the changing rooms.

Nor is it allowed "the exchange or delivery of a shirt or any clothing with rivals or colleagues from the same team or any other person."

In the most important game this Saturday, which Rentistas and Liverpool equaled 1-1 in the field of the first, the scoring was opened by Juan Ignacio Ramírez for the visitor at 19 of the second half. The tie was achieved by Gonzalo Vega seven minutes later, and thus a tie was established that keeps Rentistas as the leader of the Apertura tournament at the beginning of the fourth date.

Rentistas, led by Alejandro Cappuccio, gave up the first two points in the contest and adds 10 units in the table, above Liverpool, with six, and Progreso, Cerro Largo, Defensor and Wanderers, who have five with a less disputed match.
