Career

Club career

Lizardo Garrido was born on August 25, 1957 in the Chilean capital Santiago . This is also where his first club was based, he grew up in the youth department of today's record champions CSD Colo-Colo . From 1975 to 1976 he also had his first engagement in the professional team of the club. After he could not finally prevail as a regular player there, Lizardo Garrido played for second division clubs from 1977 to 1979. He was under contract with Deportes Colchagua for a year in 1977 and 1979 , and he spent the 1978 season with Trasandino de Los Andes .

For the first division season 1980 Lizardo Garrido returned to his hometown club Colo-Colo. He played there until 1992 and experienced by far the most successful period of his career. A total of six championships fall into this phase. The first of these was achieved in 1981 when first place in the Primera División was occupied by a point over defending champion CD Cobreloa . Two years later they finished first again, one point ahead of Cobreloa. Lizardo Garrido won his third championship with Colo-Colo in 1986. Here they won the playoff against CD Palestino 2-0, after both teams had previously been tied at the top of the table. Between 1989 and 1991 Colo-Colo even managed a title hat trick with Lizardo Garrido in central defense, winning the title of Chilean football champion for three consecutive years. Lizardo Garrido landed the greatest success of his career as a football player in the late autumn of his career in 1991. In the Copa Libertadores 1991 , the most important competition for club teams in South America, Colo-Colo eliminated Universitario de Deportes from Peru , Nacional Montevideo from Uruguay and the Boca Juniors from Argentina in the knockout games , and were in the final for the second time since 1973 of the competition. Club Olimpia from Paraguay was waiting here as opponents . After a goalless draw in the first leg in Asunción , Colo-Colo prevailed 3-0 in the second leg and brought the first and to date only Copa Libertadores to Chile. Lizardo Garrido was in the starting line-up of his team in both the first and second leg and thus had a considerable share in winning the title.

A year later, Lizardo Garrido's long career at Colo-Colo finally ended. At the age of 35 he moved to Mexico , where he played for Santos Laguna for two more years and became Mexican runner-up in 1993/94. At the end of that same season, Lizardo Garrido ended his career as an active soccer player at the age of 37.

National team

Between 1981 and 1991 Lizardo Garrido played a total of 44 international matches for the Chilean national soccer team . He didn't get a hit. By national coach Luis Santibáñez he was appointed to the South American squad for the 1982 World Cup in Spain . At the tournament, Garrido was an absolute regular in his national team and made all three tournament games over the full distance. The Chilean team, meanwhile, experienced a disappointing World Cup. As fourth behind the Federal Republic of Germany , Austria and Algeria , the end came after the group stage, without collecting a single point.
