Izquierdo’s passing led to the postponement of Uruguay’s first- and second-division matches, as tributes poured in from across the continent. Before the incident, Sao Paulo players showed solidarity, wearing shirts in support of Izquierdo ahead of their league match, highlighting the camaraderie and respect that transcends the sport.
Juan Izquierdo’s career began with Cerro in 2018, and he quickly made a name for himself with stints at clubs like Peñarol, Montevideo Wanderers, and Liverpool. He was instrumental in Liverpool’s historic Uruguayan league title win in 2023, their first in over a century. Returning to Nacional in 2024, Izquierdo played 23 matches, vying for a spot in the starting lineup against veteran defender Sebastián Coates.
