Santiago Carrera netted a consolation goal for the visitors before Martin Liguera struck to complete Fenix's win.

At Nacional, Alonso converted a fifth-minute penalty and completed his brace just after the hour-mark in his team's victory.

Liverpool and Wanderers are third and fourth respectively after the latter came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw.

Penarol and Defensor Sporting played out an entertaining 2-2 dra, while Cerro Largo and River Plate did likewise.

Juventud are alongside Rentistas in being without a point this season after being hammered 4-0 by El Tanque Sisley.

Junior Arias scored a brace for El Tanque Sisley, who jumped up to sixth on the table with their first win.
