Pablo López the difference as Tacuarembo beat Atenas
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Pablo López. 1‑0 against Atenas, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Alejandro Martinez, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
