Overview
- Twenty-four-year-old Gino Santilli made it 2–0 early in the second half with a long left‑footed clearance that crossed the field and finished in the net.
- Heavy rain and strong wind helped the ball carry and bounce near the edge of Liverpool’s box, where Lentinelly misjudged its flight.
- Santilli said he struck long to play direct rather than to score and admitted he did not see the ball cross the line before teammates rushed to celebrate.
- The Argentine is on loan at Cerro Largo from Banfield after debuting professionally in 2021, and he has been the club’s first-choice goalkeeper since mid‑2023.
- The clip went viral across Latin America and Europe, with coverage noting rare precedents of Uruguayan goalkeeper goals such as Washington Aguerre in 2019 and Manga in 1973.
