Club Nacional de Fútbol edged Progreso 1-0 in Primera División, thanks to Maximiliano Silvera’s goal in the 90th minute. For most of the match it looked as though Progreso would hold on for a point. The decisive strike came after Progreso had been reduced to ten men.
Marco Saravia was shown a second yellow card on 31 minutes and sent off, leaving Progreso to defend with ten. Nacional pushed for a winner and finally found it at the death, Silvera scoring to make it 1-0. The goal was the only one of the afternoon.
The standout figure was Silvera, the only scorer, with his 90th-minute finish. Several players were booked across the match, with Saravia’s red the defining moment. Nacional had the numerical advantage for almost an hour but needed until the last minute to make it count.
