The Deportivo Maldonado Herald
Player ratings15 Feb 2027
Emiliano Mozzone scores twice — 8.66
Two goals and a mark of 8.66 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Squad15 Feb 2027
Guillermo López 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 Deportivo Maldonado this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match13 Feb 2027
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Deportivo Maldonado and Progreso in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Match13 Feb 2027
A bad afternoon for Deportivo Maldonado against Progreso
2‑4 to Progreso, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Boardroom15 Feb 2027
Graduation day at Deportivo Maldonado
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Squad15 Feb 2027
Words at Deportivo Maldonado training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hernán Menosse is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Player ratings15 Feb 2027
Guillermo López was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
The dugout15 Feb 2027
The manager makes an example of Santiago Cartagena
“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.
Market15 Feb 2027
Deportivo Maldonado promote Ramon Garcia from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ramon Garcia has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
