Cerro vs. Danubio live in the Apertura: Villero welcomes La Franja to Tróccoli with the same goal

With these results, Cerro and Danubio will face each other this Monday at 8:00 p.m. in the closing match of the first round of the Uruguayan AUF League Apertura Tournament, with the aim of scoring points against a direct rival. La Franja and El Villero are the first two teams above the direct relegation line. They are four and seven points behind Progreso, with the Gauchos being the last of the three teams in the relegation zone, above Wanderers and Albion, after the first stage. It's just getting started, but they need to score points. Both teams changed their coaches for this season and are pursuing the same goal: to stop thinking about the averages and aim for the cup zone, which they were close to at different times last year. Cerro, led by Nelson Abeijón, will have a virtually new team, having signed 18 players, including two former Danubio players: Mateo Argüello and Jairo Amaro. La Franja kept its core players and Diego Monarriz signed seven reinforcements, among whom Sebastián Rodríguez stands out.
