Peñarol swept aside Boston River 3-0 in the Primera División, with all three goals coming after the break. The home side took control just before half-time and never let up.
Eduardo Darías headed in Javier Cabrera's cross on 40 minutes to give Peñarol the lead. Martin Gonzalez doubled the advantage nine minutes from time after a Cristian Jaime assist, and Franco Romero wrapped it up deep into stoppage time.
The match was scrappy, with eight yellow cards shown in total. Peñarol's third goal was a late punctuation mark on a performance that was efficient rather than dominant, but the three points were never in doubt after Darías' opener.
