The match Peñarol vs. Cerro Largo was going to be played today, Friday, November 19th, for the 13th round of the First Division of Uruguay at the Campeón del Siglo stadium. However, the leader of the Uruguayan league requested to the Executive Board that the match be played a few days later, as they had loaned players to the Uruguayan national team.
The aurinegros informed the AUF that they had four players called up to the Uruguayan national team. After that initial confirmation, a change of day was requested because the players would arrive in Montevideo on Wednesday from the altitude of La Paz and would only have 48 hours of recovery.

At first, the Executive Board did not accept Peñarol's request, but as the days went by, the change of day and time for the match against the arachán team for the 13th round of the Uruguayan Clausura Tournament became official.
Ignacio Alonso, president of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF), was the one who insisted on changing the date of the match. In the end, Peñarol and Cerro Largo will go from Friday, November 19th to Monday, November 22nd at 7:45 p.m. (Peruvian time) at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium.
