National had a challenging match this Thursday against Boston River, at the close of the sixth date of the Clausura Tournament. Unfortunately, the results were not as expected, as Nacional suffered a 2-0 defeat. This situation significantly complicates his chances of retaining the title of Uruguayan champion.
With this defeat, the tricolor team is now nine points ahead of its main rival, Penarol. In addition, there are still nine dates left to be played in the tournament. One of the most anticipated confrontations, the classic, will take place on the ninth date. However, with the nine-point gap and the team’s current performance under Álvaro Gutiérrez, it appears to be a formidable task for Nacional.
Nacional’s defeat also has an impact on the general classification. Now, Liverpool positions itself as Peñarol’s only guard, leaving six points of difference. This represents a significant change in the fight for the Uruguayan championship, since Nacional was considered one of the favorites.
Despite its defeat, Nacional does not fall below fourth position in the standings. Defensor Sporting, despite its efforts in the last game, failed to surpass the tricolor team in the standings.
This is how the annual table of the Uruguayan championship looked until this Friday:
