The national midfielder is one of the most important elements of the Ciudadano team. This Sunday, he converted two goals (both penalties) in the 3-1 victory over Rentistas, for the 2022 Intermediate Tournament. The team led by Sebastián Eguren, Lasarte’s former assistant at La Roja, leads his group with a ideal score.
Marcelo Allende found its place in the world in Uruguay. The Chilean midfielder, who turned 23 in April, achieved the long-awaited regularity in Uruguayan football, with the jersey of the Montevideo city couple , a club with little history but which has the backing of none other than the City Football Group. This Sunday, the young youth team of Cobreloa once again produced an exceptional performance in the east of the country. He scored twice for Los Ciudadanos’ 3-1 victory over Rentistas, on matchday two of Group A of the 2022 Intermediate Tournament.
For Torque, the score was opened by Tiago Palacios, within three minutes of the game. The Rentistas tied the game in the 25th minute, with a goal from defender Alexis Rolín, the same who had an insignificant passage to the University of Concepción, which will be expelled later. In the complement, the two annotations of Allende arrived, both from the penalty spot. The first was at 61′. Then, in the 79th minute, he scored his second personal score and the final 3-1. The Chilean player was established and replaced five minutes from the epilogue.
The former youth team has not converted a double since March 5, 2021, also by City Torque, in the 8-2 win over Montevideo Wanderers.
In the appendix, it should be noted that the official Twitter account of the Uruguayan Championship conducted a survey to choose the figure for the match, with Allende among the alternatives. Until the closing of this note, the leaflet won with more than 70% of the votes.
The start of the second tournament of the year in Uruguay was impeccable for the Celestials: two games played and two victories. At the start, they beat Peñarol as a visitor, delivering one of the blows from the previous date. Torque leads intermediate group A with six points, five goals for and two against.
Referring to Premier League games only, Allende has scored six goals in 2022, in 16 games. He has twice as many as he converted in 2021, in 26 games played. One credit he has to his credit is maintaining his starting status beyond the coaching changes his team has been through lately. It happened first with Pablo Marini, left for the Quito League and now coach of Deportes La Serena, replacing Ivo Basay. Then it was with Roman Neck, who will play in Chilean football during his time as a striker. And today it happens under the command of Sebastián Eguren, former coach of Martín Lasarte in the Chilean team.
