Before the game took place there was another duel, off the field between Peñarol and Rosario Central supporters. Prior to the match the Peñarol fans were seated under a group of rabid Central ultras, who from the upper deck began to throw rocks and bottles from above.

Eventually Peñarol fans would retaliate by throwing a flare from the bottom stands all the way up to Rosario Central fans. A Peñarol player, Maximiliano Olivera, was hit in the face with a rock as a result of the growing tension in the stands.

Rosario Central could face sanctions for fan violence against Peñarol

Images returning from Rosario show Central fans throwing a barricade from the top of the stands down on to Peñarol supporters. Despite security trying to avoid the disaster, one security guard was almost thrown down from the stands as Central fans tried to force the barricade down.

Rosario Central has opened themselves to major sanctions as according to articles 13 and 18 of the Disciplinary Tribunal, possible sanctions for object throwing range from a simple warning or a fine to partial or total closure of the stadium and disqualification from the tournament (or exclusion from future competitions).

Conmebol is now slated to review the matter and issue their sanction in the coming days.

The model in question is Renata Melão, a 36-year-old social media influencer and Onlyfans model born in Camboriú, Santa Catarina, Brazil. According to Montevideo Portal, Melão was invited to the stadium by the current group of directors and executives of Peñarol, one of Uruguay’s and South American soccer’s most historic clubs.

When the pictures were made public, rival directors, who will challenge current club president Ignacio Ruglio’s presidency in November when the club holds elections, were “disgusted” and “applaud” by the indecent.

Brazilian model poses all over Peñarol stadium

Renata Melão was allowed to take pictures next to the team bench, the press conference hall, in a VIP section, and sitting on top of the club’s crest near the sideline.

Melão has stated that she is a big fan of Peñarol’s young striker Matías Arezo, and that was good enough for Ruglio and the governing body of the club to allow her to take pictures all throughout the stadium.

Many observers and fans were not too pleased at the subjective nature of the pictures, female supporters posted on Twitter stating “how does this even help Peñarol? Marketing? Please!”

Melão is in Uruguay promoting her ebook Mujer Melón, which has several erotic stories, and on social media she has over 2 million Instagram followers. Melão is no stranger to controversy and soccer, she posed completely naked in Colombia in front of Estadio Nemesio Camacho El Campín.

A decade ago, arch-rival Nacional went through a similar situation when Uruguayan model Patricia Fierro posed in Nacional’s home ground El Gran Parque Central for a sensual calendar. The club directors who won the elections scrapped the calendar completely, thousands of copies made it to print, as they felt it did not coincide with the values of the club.

After some time, the calendar was sold at only one location, not even an official club store, with the condition that the profits were to go to the renovations of Nacional’s stadium at the time.

It will undoubtedly be one of the most interesting games on Wednesday, May 4, since it could be the last chance that both teams have to fight for a place in the round of 16 Copa Libertadores. If one of the two loses, they will almost certainly have to settle for fighting for third place, which would allow them to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.

Both teams will have to be aware of what Cerro Porteño and Colon do, since their future will depend on that. A tie, in principle, would leave Peñarol somewhat better, although a victory for “Zabalero” would greatly complicate things for the Uruguayans in the face of that hypothetical tie. In the case of Olimpia, it only serves them to win, regardless of what happens in the other game in the group.

Olimpia vs Peñarol: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Being two historical teams in this competition, it is not surprising that they have faced each other more times compared to other teams (except, of course, those that are from the same country). In total they played 13 times with a clear dominance of Peñarol, who won 7 times, while Olimpia did it 3 times with 3 draws.

The last confrontation between both rivals took place two weeks ago when for the current edition of the Copa Libertadores, Peñarol won 2-1 at home. Before that, the last game between the two was on March 1, 1974, also a 2-0 victory for the Uruguayans.

The Oddsmakers have a favorite for this match. These are the odds according to Caliente: Olimpia are the favorite with +110 odds, while Peñarol have +265. A tie would finish in a +230 payout.

*Odds via Caliente

The last two teams in the standings of Group G will face each other in what may be one of the last chances to fight to advance to the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The loser of this game would be almost condemned to not be able to fight for more than third place and go to the Copa Sudamericana.

Perhaps a tie would serve Peñarol a little more, although nothing is guaranteed, since it would depend on what Cerro Porteño and Colon do. For Olimpia, on the other hand, only victory is useful. The draw could leave them almost eliminated depending again on the game between “El Ciclon” and the “Zabaleros”, and of course the defeat would make the situation even more complicated.

Cerro Porteño had a very good start in this Conmebol Libertadores. They tied 0-0 in the Derby against Olimpia and then beat Colon 3-1, which places them as leaders of Group G with 4 points. Of course, in this game they seek to establish themselves as leaders and for that it will be essential to win at home.

In the case of Peñarol, they debuted with a loss against Colon de Santa Fe, but then recovered in Matchday 2 by beating Olimpia 2-1. At the moment they are staying in second place for having 3 points like Colon, but better goal difference. Although that could change if the Argentine team won their game against Olimpia and they don’t get the victory, that’s why this match for the Uruguayans will be very important.

The Peñarol forward has played 51 games for the club and has 10 goals, winning one league title. His 2021 started with a bang but as the season progressed Torres was on tired legs after a heavy 2021 that saw him inherit the number 10 jersey for Peñarol and play 10 games for Uruguay.

Orlando City had offered $6 million for Torres but Peñarol president Ignacio Ruglio rejected the offer in favor of a higher fee. Now Ovacion and El Pais in Uruguay have the fee at $10 million plus clauses.

Facundo Torres on Orlando City radar

Facundo Torres had offers from Villarreal in Spain but has reportedly set his sights on a move to MLS. At $10 million for 70% of his rights, Orlando would win the signature of one of the best players in Uruguayan soccer.

It has been reported that the player’s family stressed to Ruglio to get the deal done as the offer will be okayed in the coming days according to reports. Facundo Torres will most likely take up a DP spot on Orlando’s roster and the players intentions is to make the jump to Europe.
