In the final in Madrid in 2018, an experienced Camilo Mayada replaced Gonzalo Montiel at right backwho little by little established himself as a key piece of River de Gallardo. The Uruguayan was part of the play that ended in the second goal from that night in Spain, thanks to Quintero’s left foot.

The fans always recognized that Mayada is an all-rounder, since he could cover several positions on the field. And many agree that if he had entered the final in Lima, today River would have one more Libertadores in the showcases. The truth is that this is a past discussion and Camilo Mayada plays for Peñarol, where he already scored his first goal.

The rival against whom the Uruguayan scored his first goal was precisely River Plate but from that country. It was the second of the match in a 3-0 win and he did it 34 minutes into the first half. The others were done by Franco González Fernández and Matías Arezo.

The goal was very good and from a header, after a play built from the center to the left, to shoot a cross that crossed the area from one side to the other and culminated in Mayada’s header. It was his first goal after five years for the former River.

The last time Mayada had scored a goal he was still in River

The seasoning of the goal that Camilo Mayada scored against River from Uruguay is that the last time he scored was with the Millionaire’s shirt. The same one was against San Martín de San Juan in 2018.

In the middle of that period, the former River played for San Luis in Mexico, Libertad in Paraguay and now Peñarol in Uruguay. Therefore, he has not played for his national team since the same year in which he scored his last goal: 2018.

Mayada has the best numbers of his career playing for River

River has valued the effort and commitment of Camilo Mayada and it was in the Más Grande where he played the most games: 134. On the other hand, he scored seven goals and it was also the maximum reached for the footballer who between 2015 and 2019 played for Millo. In Danubio he collected five goals in 97 games, while in San Luis he played 55 games, in Libertad 44 and in Peñarol just three, and only here he managed to score.
