Uruguay Wrap: Penarol overhaul Fenix

Penarol defeated Sud America 2-0 on Saturday to move above Fenix into first position in the table and when Danubio triumphed on Sunday, the title-holders were assured of top spot through 10 games.

Jonathan Alvez struck a brace for Danubio with the striker's second coming in the 79th minute to sink Fenix.

Luis Aguiar capped off Penarol's victory in the 86th minute, sliding in at the back post to tap in Marcelo Zalayeta's cross.

At Fenix's Parque Capurro on Sunday, Alvez struck in the 11th minute for Danubio, converting from Ignacio Gonzalez's pass but the home side were level at half-time through Lucas Cavallini.
