At their home ground, Wanderers achieved a crucial victory over Danubio in the 7th round of the Apertura. The match was lively from the start, with Danubio striking first with a brilliant play by Mateo Peralta that put them ahead in the 23rd minute of the first half. Nevertheless, Wanderers showed resilience and turned the game around with two goals from headers by Leandro Zazpe just before halftime (45’) and Jonás Luna twelve minutes into the second half, ultimately winning 2-1.
Jonás Luna stood out as the man of the match, contributing significantly with a goal. Meanwhile, Leandro Zazpe’s defensive prowess was also noteworthy as he found the net once.
Under the guidance of coach Mathías Corujo, Wanderers utilized a 3-4-3 formation featuring Agustín Buffa in goal; a defensive line of Santiago Benítez, Nicolás Olivera, and Leandro Zazpe; a midfield consisting of Nahuel Furtado, Nicolás Queiroz, José Alberti, and Darlin Mencia; and an attacking trio of Mateo Levato, Joaquín Zeballos, and Jonathan Urretaviscaya.
On the other side, Danubio, managed by Diego Monarriz, deployed a 4-4-2 tactic with Mauro Goicoechea as the goalkeeper; Camilo Mayada, Emiliano Velázquez, Tomás Cavanagh, and Leandro Sosa in defense; Iván Rossi, Sebastián Rodríguez, Maicol Ferreira, and Mateo Peralta in midfield; and Enzo Cabrera alongside Nicolas Azambuja in attack.
The match was officiated by referee Mathías De Armas at the Parque Alfredo Víctor Viera stadium.
Looking ahead, Wanderers will visit Albion in their next match, while Danubio will host Defensor Sporting at home. Danubio is set to face its arch-rival in a highly anticipated clash known as the ‘classic of the mediums,’ reviving the fierce rivalry that electrifies both fan bases.
