Uruguay Montevideo taken apart
1‑6 to La Luz, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Sebastián Camacho in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Uruguay Montevideo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Santiago Godoy steps up from the Uruguay Montevideo academy
