Roberto Mouzo (born January 8, 1953 in Avellaneda ) is a former Argentine football player.

Career

Roberto Mouzo, born 1953 in Avellaneda, an industrial suburb of Argentina's capital Buenos Aires , began playing soccer in Buenos Aires with the Boca Juniors . In 1971 he was accepted into the professional squad of the club from the working-class district of La Boca . In the following years Mouzo played at Boca together with other Argentinian football greats of the time such as Rubén Suñé , Francisco Sá or Hugo Gatti and won the Argentinian football championship three times between 1971 and 1984. In 1976 he even won both semi-annual championships with the Boca Juniors. In the Metropolitano competition they were first with three points ahead of CA Huracán , they won the Nacional with a 1-0 in the final against their big rivals River Plate . Mouzo became Argentine champion for the second time in 1981 when they won the Metropolitano with one point ahead of Ferro Carril Oeste .

He had already won the Copa Libertadores twice in a row with his club . Made possible by the 1976 championship, Boca was eligible to compete in the 1977 Copa Libertadores . After, among others, River Plate and Peñarol Montevideo were defeated in the first group phase and the then strong Colombian representative Deportivo Cali in the second group phase, they met Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte from Brazil in the final . After the home team's return leg ended 1-0, a playoff had to judge the Libertadores winner, which Boca won 5-4 on penalties in Montevideo after being goalless 0-0 after extra time had expired. Roberto Mouzo was used in all three finals in his club's defense. In the penalty shootout of the play-off, he converted the first penalty for his team and thus laid the foundation for the eventual victory. For the Copa Libertadores 1978 , the Boca Juniors were qualified as defending champions and also won this tournament. In the final they were successful against Deportivo Cali 0-0 in Colombia and 4-0 in their La Bombonera stadium. Also this time Mouzo experienced both finals. While in 1977 the World Cup was won 2: 2 and 3: 0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach , the competition did not take place in 1978, as both the winner of the 1977/78 European Cup , Liverpool FC , and Boca Juniors , refused to attend.

After 396 games in the Primera División , in which Roberto Mouzo had scored 21 goals, his time with the Boca Juniors ended in 1984. For the 1985 season he joined the then first division club Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, who now only plays in third class. During the 1985 season he defied his former club Boca Juniors with the small club from Río Cuarto as part of the Nacional competition in the group stage, but lost 7-1 in the second leg and was eliminated. A little later Mouzo left Argentina and went to Ecuador for a few months to Club 9 de Octubre. In 1986 he moved to Club Atlético Atlanta for a short time , where he made eight more games and ended his career at the age of 33.

Roberto Mouzo made a total of four international matches for the Argentine national football team . All of these missions were accounted for in 1974. However, he was not nominated for the world championship in that year. Nine years after his last international match, national coach Carlos Bilardo then called him into the squad for the 1983 Copa America . However, the gauchos ended in the group stage , while Uruguay became South American champions. Mouzo wasn't even used.
