The Cerro Largo Post
Match12 Aug 2026
Cerro Largo march on in the cup
Colon are out and Cerro Largo go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

9 saves: Washington Aguerre was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Tempers go at Cerro Largo
Sebastián Assis was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Nobody could get near Alfonso de Luca
Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

One of their own: Facundo da Costa
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

A defender's afternoon for Axel Prado
Defensive actions: 19. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Marcelo Silva
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Nobody on the pitch touched Facundo da Costa
7.84, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Cerro Largo had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Diego Daguerre falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
In brief
