Montevideo City Torque

We have, uh, Atlético Mineiro in form in Brazil.

Now, they're, they're up against a, a tiny little side from Uruguay, part of the City Group, uh, Montevideo City Torque.

Although they're not full of, like, promising youngsters who, you know, with, with the idea of, of getting them through the, through the group and o-onto, uh, onto Manchester City.

Um, there's, there, there's one or two, but there's a lot... there's veterans in there as well.

Hello and welcome back to the podcast.

Today we're looking at the match between Atletico MG and Montevideo City Torque, where Atletico MG secured a 3-0 victory.

The scoring opened in the 37th minute with Riener finding the back of the net, assisted by Victor Hugo.

Just five minutes later, in the 42nd minute, Bernard doubled the lead with a strike from outside the box, this time set up by Riener following a fast break.

Thiago Borbas came off the bench and scored.

Looking at the statistics, Atletico on G had 65.5% possession and registered 16 shots, 8 of which were on target.

Montevideo City Torque managed 6 shots, with only 1 hitting the mark.

It was a 3-0 win for Atletico.

End it on the table, three-nil down, and yeah, worry about Brasileirão.

The other semifinals in Copa Sudamericana will be between Atlético Mineiro and Montevideo City.

Montevideo, I believe, was in Grêmio's group.

They ended up beating Grêmio in one of the matches, if not in both, or they might have tied one.

They're gonna come here, and they're gonna get a draw, zero-zero against Galo.

Galo, their minds, their hopes are too high right now, and they need someone to calm them down.

And Montevideo City, the City Group, Manchester City with all their chargers are gonna make it 116 and buy the referees and get a draw in, uh, Arena MRV.

So yeah, it's gonna be a tough match, but a draw, and Galo will be crying.

Although at the moment it is pointing towards yet another Flamengo-Palmeiras final, these two teams which have been dominating Brazilian and South American football for, for a decade, and are fighting for the Brazilian title as well at the moment, as th- their games are going on at the moment, and the lead keeps changing hands from one to the other.

The other one, the, the Sudamericana, um, Atlético Mineiro, who are a, a good side in good form, against the absolute rank outsiders, uh, Montevideo City Torque, part of the City Group, um, but without anything like the level of lo- of, of investment.

They really are the minnow amongst giants in this, in this semifinal, and Atlético are huge, huge favorites.

Will they meet another Brazilian team in the final? Possibly.

Hello and welcome back.

This week we're diving into a single match from Uruguay between Montevideo City Torque and Danubio.

The final score at the Estadio Chaiuo was Montevideo City Torque 1, Danubio 0.

The first half ended goalless.

The deadlock was broken in the 59th minute.

Salomon Rodriguez found the back of the net for Montevideo City Torque, scoring the only goal of the match.

This goal put Montevideo City Torque ahead 1-0, and that's how the scoreline remained until the final whistle.

With a scoreline of 1-0, Montevideo City Torque secured the victory thanks to that goal from Rodriguez.

Welcome back.

Today, we're looking at a fixture from Uruguay, the Primera División, between Nacional and Montevideo City Torque.

The match took place at the Gran Parque Central Stadium, and Nacional won two-nil.

Nacional opened the scoring in the tenth minute thanks to Tomás Vieira.

The two goals came from different scorers, Tomás Vieira and Maxi Gómez.

Both players scored once.

The provided stats show zero possession for both teams and zero shots on and off target for both Nacional and Montevideo City Torque.

Based solely on the goals and the final score, Nacional was the side that scored twice to take the win.

Just on the soccer front, uh, obviously there's not too much going on at the minute, but South America seems to be leading the way and plenty of cash changing hands between, uh, bettors and bookmakers.

16K play on Montevideo City Torque against Penarol, over two and a half first half goals, which was a loser at plus 155.

Always think going overs in Uruguayan football is maybe a quick way to the poor house.

Um, on the Red Bulls against, uh, St. Louis City, over two and a half goals, 10K, which was a winner, minus 176.

So the semifinal lineups in the Copas Sudamericana are...

Boca Juniors versus Vasco da Gama and Atletico Mineiro versus Montevideo City Torque, who beat Cienciano 3-0 to overcome a 2-0 first leg deficit in the second leg of their quarterfinal last, I think it was Thursday evening.

the fixtures in the order I've just read them out are the first leg fixtures which means that Boca will have to visit Rio de Janeiro in the second leg and those are currently scheduled for the 13th the first legs are scheduled for the 13th and 14th of October with the second legs a week later so that's basically after the international break is over and the Copa Libertadores as I mentioned after we recorded but before the podcast went online last week Estudiantes got a late, late winner away to Corinthians.

And a late multi-miss.

Too late.

Both teams in this tie are really interesting clubs because Montevideo City Torque are members of the City Football Group and they have a remarkably similar badge to Man City.

We'll stick that up on screen now.

They are now facing Atletico Mineiro in the semifinals.
