Santiago Damián García Correa (born September 14, 1990 in Montevideo , † February 6, 2021 ) was a Uruguayan football player .

Career

society

The dark-skinned Santiago García, named 1.77 meters or 1.81 meters tall, El Morro , depending on the sources, grew up in the Barrio Colón . There his nickname arose from the fact that he was initially called Morrocoyo or Morrongo by the mothers of his friends - probably based on the color of the skin , which resulted in the abbreviated name that is common today.

He began club football in the youth of Libertad Washington and moved to the youth team of Nacional Montevideo in late 2007 , where he first played in the Quinta División (5th division). There he drew attention for the first time with a three-pack in the final of that championship round against Danubio, which paved his way into the first team. Later the Nacional officials decided to sign him up for the Copa Libertadores at the last minute.

In January 2008 a short loan to Juventud for a tournament in Mexico followed . As a result, he largely missed the season preparation of the first team for the Clausura 2008. This was followed by a muscle injury that initially prevented missions in the Primera División and in the international competitions of the Bolsos . So he was only used in a game completed in Artigas for the opening of the Estadio de San Eugenio . As a result, he came several times in the Tercera Nacionals to train. His first competitive game then took place on July 27, 2008 in the Liguilla . He crowned his debut with one goal. In the following period he played for the Montevideans until summer 2011. During his time with the Bolsos , he won two Uruguayan championships in the seasons 2008/09 and 2010/11. In the 2010/11 season he was the top scorer in the Primera División with 23 goals scored . He also decided the related rating of the Torneo Apertura 2010 in his favor with 15 goals and thus four goals ahead of Rodrigo Mora (Defensor Sporting). In the three seasons 2008/09 to 2010/11 he has 79 appearances in the Primera División , in which he scored a total of 40 goals. There are also 16 games (four goals) in the Copa Libertadores and two goals in six Liguilla encounters.

In October 2011, the Uruguayan, represented by player agent Carlos Soca , was convicted in his home country due to an analysis in the laboratory of the Ministry of Sport for doping using cocaine , whereupon a ban of two years in his home country, which could be reduced to six months, should come into effect. Since he was not under contract in Uruguay at the time, the Uruguayan Football Association had no obligation to report the offense to FIFA. The ban should come into force both for the national team and for all Uruguayan clubs. The sample was given in the last game of the season 2010/11 against Defensor Sporting .

In June 2011 García moved to the Brazilian Série B to Athletico Paranaense . Nacional was to receive a transfer fee of 4,750,000 US dollars plus a 50% stake in the event of a potential resale to Europe within the next five years. There he came up to November 27, 2011 to 13 starting eleven appearances in a total of 15 completed league games and scored two goals.

Since the Brazilian club failed to meet its financial obligations from the transfer to Nacional, García returned to his hometown in May 2012.

In the summer of 2012, his renewed move to the Turkish first division club Kasımpaşa Istanbul was announced. There he signed a three-year contract running from August 22, 2012 until May 31, 2015. At the beginning of November 2012, after a long peat slump, he scored in a 5-0 victory in the cup competition against Kocaelispor. Overall, he completed only one league game (no goal) for the Turks in the 2012/13 season and was used twice in the cup (two goals).

In the 2013/14 season he was again under contract with Nacional. A few days after the 2013 Apertura ended, García made negative headlines again. On Christmas morning he came into a police check on the Rambla and showed an alcohol content of 2.2 grams per liter of blood during a spirometer check. That cost him his driver's license. During the entire season he came to 14 first division appearances at Nacional. He did not score a goal. He also played four games in the 2014 Copa Libertadores and scored one goal. He was then reported as an exit. His contract had not been renewed. In early August 2014, he then joined league rivals River Plate Montevideo . In the 2014/15 season, he was used in 20 first division games (three goals) and two games (one goal) of the Copa Sudamericana 2014 . In the 2015/16 season he played 15 league games in Apertura and scored ten goals. In January 2016 he joined the Argentine club Godoy Cruz from Mendoza . After five years with Godoy Cruz, he left the club in January 2021.

Santiago García played a total of nine times for his country's U-20 national team between 2007 and 2009 . With this he took part in the U-20 soccer South American championship in 2009 and the U-20 soccer world championship in 2009 . In the first one reached the third place and in the second named tournament you were eliminated in the round of 16 against the U-20 national team of Brazil.
