Market

General Diaz sell their best player to Libertad

$1.2M is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Match

10 matches without a win for General Diaz

The run now stands at 10, and the questions being asked around General Diaz are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Luis Uliambre is the hero from the spot

Match

The cup run ends for General Diaz

1-1 against Cerro Porteno, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Match

General Diaz sink to position 10

20 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match

General Diaz and Nacional cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Nacional came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Squad

Somebody is after David Valenzuela’s shirt

A new face in his position, and David Valenzuela suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. General Diaz have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.
