Cerro claimed a 1-0 win over Racing de Montevideo in Primera División, with Damián Suárez's early goal proving the difference. Racing's hopes faded further when Cristian Barros was sent off on the stroke of half-time.
Suárez struck in the eighth minute to put Cerro ahead, and that scoreline held through a tight contest. Racing had to chase the game with ten men after Barros's red card at 45, but never found an equaliser.
Suárez's goal was the decisive moment of the match. Racing ended the game with a man disadvantage after a steady stream of bookings, yet the key fact is that Cerro held on for the victory.
