Uruguay first division matches postponed due to storms

MONTEVIDEO, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) postponed four of the five matches scheduled in the Primera Division on Sunday due to heavy storms.

Three of the fixtures - River Plate-Nacional, Cerro-Sud America and Racing-Boston River - were in the capital Montevideo, which was lashed by heavy rain and gale-force winds on Saturday night and Sunday.

The other match rescheduled was Plaza Colonia's clash with Fenix in Colonia de Sacramento.

In a statement, the AUF said the matches would be played on Tuesday (Sept. 12) at 4pm.

Penarol currently lead the 16-team Clausura tournament, with four wins from as many matches.
