Background: Uruguay's first division champions, Nacional, drew one-one (1-1) with Nacional of Ecuador on May 3. The inconclusive result leaves the top positions in group four of the South American football championship, the Libertadores Cup, unchanged. Ecuador's team leads with eight points and the Uruguayans are in second place with seven points. A capacity crowd watched the match in Montevideo.
