Malvín finishes Copa de Oro as Uruguayan champ

The final stage for Uruguay’s Copa de Oro beach soccer cup ended on Friday the 29th of January with Malvín defeating Racing

The Copa de Oro is the Uruguayan early season beach soccer tournament that gathers the best clubs in Uruguay and pits them in battles over the course of five days to see who is the top club in the South American country. In addition to Malvín and Racing the clubs included Parque Cubano, and Cerrito, and the four teams finished 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. In arguably the closest match of the week, the eventual champion, Malvín, had to dispatch Racing by the slimmest of margins at 3-2. 

This year the action in the Arena del Plata stadium also included a stage for the Copa de Plata.
