Washington Aguerre damages knee ligaments — 58 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 58 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Lukas González keeps Cerro Largo in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Cup progress for Cerro Largo
A 2‑1 win over Colon, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
Player ratings22 Mar 2027
Facundo da Costa scores twice — 9.00
Two goals and a mark of 9.00 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Axel Prado keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Cerro Largo may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Player ratings22 Mar 2027
Elías de León, 21, steals the show — 8.03
Marked 8.03 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

A row about effort at Cerro Largo
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sebastián Assis was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The crowd has taken to Ihojan Pérez
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
The dugout22 Mar 2027
No hiding place for Alexis Piegas
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alexis Piegas, and the manager let it.
