Peñarol beats Liverpool in the debut of his coach Mario Saralegui

After the abrupt departure of Diego Forlán from the Peñarol bench, El Carbonero announced the arrival of Mario Saralegui to straighten the team’s path in Uruguayan soccer. This Saturday, the strategist made his debut on the bench with a 3-2 win over Liverpool.

Of course, the game was not easy for the locals, since Hernan Figueiredo (10 ‘) opened the scoring for the visit. The comeback came thanks to an own goal by Gonzalo Pérez (28 ‘) and a “double” by David Terans (35’ and 40 ‘). The final discount for Liverpool was the work of Martin Correa (88 ‘).

The Chilean attacker, Christian bravo, entered the second half when his squad had a two-goal lead and served to refresh the offensive of Manya, despite the fact that his rivals were able to discount in the epilogue.

The meeting served to calm the waters in the Uruguayan club after the departure of Cachavacha and to prepare the duel that they will have against Colo Colo on September 15 for the Copa Libertadores. From now on, Peñarol will play against River Plate of Uruguay (this Wednesday) and Montevideo City Torque of Marcelo Allende (next Saturday), before travel to Santiago for the duel against the Cacique.

It should be remembered that Colo Colo will be the Chilean team in charge of reopening the competition’s fires, with confirmed programming for the duel against Peñarol: September 15, 7:15 p.m., Monumental Stadium.
