Paysandú vs River Plate

Paysandu FC and River Plate shared a goalless draw at Estadio Artigas on matchday 15 of Uruguay's Segunda División, a result that changed little for either side chasing points at opposite ends of the table. Referee Rubén Umpierrez oversaw a tight, cagey affair with few clear openings in either box. Neither team found a breakthrough, and no cards or serious incidents were reported from the ninety minutes. For the hosts, goalkeeper Nazareno Ferreyra made his return after missing recent matches through injury, marking a solid comeback appearance behind a defense that held firm all afternoon. The point at least stops the bleeding for Paysandu FC, who arrived on the back of back-to-back defeats to Uruguay Montevideo and Huracán FC and remain anxious to pull away from the lower reaches of the standings. For River Plate, unbeaten form under coach Damián Santín stays intact, but the draw slows their push toward the playoff zone, leaving work still to do in the run-in.
