The Plaza Colonia Chronicle

24 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Match19 Aug 2026

Plaza Colonia out of the cup

Central Espanol ended it 2‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match19 Aug 2026

Plaza Colonia throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Central Espanol the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Plaza Colonia will enjoy reviewing.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A brace, and Diego Villalba takes the afternoon — 8.16

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Diego Villalba provided it, and the 8.16 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Kevin Morgan decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Plaza Colonia

Lucas Carrizo 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.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Plaza Colonia beat the market to Emiliano Mozzone from Deportivo Maldonado

Deportivo Maldonado will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Emiliano Mozzone has pre-agreed a move to Plaza Colonia, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Match22 Aug 2026

Plaza Colonia come up short against Miramar Misiones

Miramar Misiones left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Joaquín Silva gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Tomás Escalante was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. 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.

Match12 Aug 2026

Facundo Píriz sends Plaza Colonia through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Facundo Píriz obliged against Lito. 5‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Plaza Colonia.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Both of them Facundo Píriz's — 8.25

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.25, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Both of them Diego Villalba's — 8.21

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.21, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Thiago Rodríguez at 18 — 7.61

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Thiago Rodríguez did not need any: 7.61, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Up for the corner, and Segundo Pachamé delivers — 7.44

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Segundo Pachamé scored, was marked 7.44, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Lucas Carrizo 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 Plaza Colonia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match15 Aug 2026

Lucas Carrizo among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Lucas Carrizo on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Plaza Colonia and Boston River.

Match15 Aug 2026

Lucas Carrizo’s goal not enough for Plaza Colonia

Lucas Carrizo scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑4 to Boston River, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Plaza Colonia beat the market to Agustín Rodríguez from Colon

Colon will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Agustín Rodríguez has pre-agreed a move to Plaza Colonia, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Joaquín Silva keeps Plaza Colonia in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match8 Aug 2026

Plaza Colonia come up short against Montevideo City Torque

Montevideo City Torque left with the points after a 3‑5 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A hand in 2 of them from Nicolás González — 7.70

Marked 7.70. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Plaza Colonia

Lucas Carrizo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match8 Aug 2026

8 goals as Plaza Colonia and Montevideo City Torque go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Plaza Colonia and Montevideo City Torque, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Market10 Aug 2026

Camilo Torres steps up from the Plaza Colonia academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Camilo Torres has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Plaza Colonia promote Gonzalo Silva from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gonzalo Silva 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Diego Gomez steps up from the Plaza Colonia academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Diego Gomez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Plaza Colonia promote Santiago Ferreira from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Santiago Ferreira 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Joaquín Silva stands alone

10 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A career in one shirt: Ezequías Redín

15 seasons and 308 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Market3 Aug 2026

Lucas Carrizo has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Plaza Colonia can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tomás Escalante stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tomás Escalante and Plaza Colonia agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Plaza Colonia

Lucas Carrizo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match1 Aug 2026

Nicolás González sends Plaza Colonia past Defensor Sporting

It finished 1‑0, and it was Nicolás González’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Plaza Colonia.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Tomás Escalante beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Plaza Colonia has picked up the phone to Haibrany Ruiz Díaz

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Gonzalo Pereira: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.
