The academy secured a thrilling victory over Peñarol,winning by a score of 3 to 1 and advancing to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. This achievement, as of August 20, 2025, marks a significant moment for the team, fueled by a spectacular match filled with passion and wonder.
The decisive goal came in the final moments, a header from Pardo, a recent addition to the squad, following a free kick by Martyna. The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, with two outstanding goals – the second stemming from a penalty awarded earlier in the game - and a dramatic finish. However, the team will face challenges in their next encounter against Vélez in Liniers on the 16th of next month.
A setback for the team is the unavailability of Red Marcos, who was expelled in an unusual manner and will also be unable to play in the Clausura Tournament due to a prior lack of registration.Earlier in the match, the defender had a goal disallowed by VAR due to a pushing foul.
This victory, a testament to the team’s spirit and determination, sets the stage for an exciting quarterfinal clash. The team will need to overcome the absence of key players and maintain their momentum to succeed.
