Uruguay Wrap: Racing go clear at the top

In a dramatic game at the Estadio Centenario, Wanderers attacker Sebastian Gularte inadvertently put the away side ahead after heading a Jesus Trindade free-kick into his own net in the 36th minute.

Matias Quagliotti soon drew Wanderers level from the penalty spot as the two sides went into the break locked at 1-1.

Ivan Alonso opened the scoring just past the half-hour mark after he headed home before Matias de los Santos turned the ball into his own net to double Nacional's advantage.

In the round's other games, Rentistas beat River Plate 2-0 while Fenix moved into fourth spot in the table thanks to a 1-0 triumph over El Tanque Sisley.
