Defensor Sporting 1:3 Atletico Torque: result and stats

Match report

Atlético Torre beat Defensor Sporting 3-1 at Estadio Luis Franzini in the fourth round of the Clausura phase. The visitors took control early and never looked back, moving further clear of the mid-table pack. Defensor, sitting 13th with 28 points, had expected more from a home fixture. L. Agazzi opened the scoring for the hosts in the third minute, a moment of sharp movement that caught the defence flat-footed. To be fair, Atlético Torre responded quickly, with G. Kagelmacher equalising just eight minutes later. The momentum shifted then, and S. Rodriguez converted a penalty in the 30th minute to put the visitors ahead. By then, Defensor were chasing the game rather than setting the tempo. E. Obregon added a fourth goal in the 59th minute, and Defensor's hopes were effectively dead. The hosts made five changes in quick succession, starting with E. Cuello and M. Rabunal on the hour mark. Atlético Torre also turned to their bench, bringing on S. Rodriguez and E. Obregon together in the 89th minute to see out the final stages. The statistics tell a familiar story. Defensor had 48 per cent possession and 140 attacks, but only two shots on target compared to seven for Atlético Torre. The visitors were second to everything in possession but got their substitutions spot on, turning a tight contest into a comfortable victory. Atlético Torre move to fourth place with 44 points, while Defensor remain rooted in 13th. The gap between them is now 16 points, and the table goes out of the window in these games when one side finds a way back into it. This result ends a run of inconsistency for the visitors after their heavy defeat to Peñarol last weekend.
