Goalkeeper Leonardo Fagúndez, 27, has shared his story after a memorable night against Nacional. His route from a butcher’s shop to the goal of Ferro Carril, and then back to everyday life in Salto, is the focus of the account.
A hobby, not a full-time career
Fagúndez explained that for the footballers at OFI, the sport is “more of a hobby” than a profession. It is a useful reminder of how many players in Uruguay’s lower-profile clubs balance training and matches with work and other commitments.
His best save against Nacional
The keeper also spoke about his standout moment in the match against Nacional, singling out the save he regards as the best of the night.
Back to routine in Salto
For Fagúndez, the unforgettable evening has now given way to a return to normal life in Salto, where football sits alongside his day-to-day responsibilities.
