He began as a full-back, made his name as a goalkeeper with one of Uruguay's two main clubs, Nacional of Montevideo, later switched to the other, Penarol, and went on to manage both. Maspoli was essentially a shot stopper - brave, flexible and immensely agile, with superb anticipation. Like so many continental and south American keepers, he was less effective at dealing with high centres from the wings. He was intrumental in the 1950 tournament and particularly in the final. By 1954 Maspoli had put on weight, and tended to punch away crosses rather than catch them. This proved fatal in the course of a wonderful semi-final match against Hungary, when Sandor ''Golden Head'' Kocsis headed a couple of late goals to put Uruguay out of the reckoning, 4-2. In the third place match against Austria, Uruguay's disenchanted team lost 3-1. Retiring as a player, Maspoli became the highly successful manager of his old club, Penarol. In 1966, he took them to the final of the Libertadores Cup, the south American club championship, in which they beat River Plate of Buenos Aires. This qualified them to meet Real Madrid, the formidable European Cup holders, for the so-called intercontinental championship. In Montevideo, Penarol won 2-0, but few expected them to hold out in the return game in Madrid. Instead, they recorded another 2-0 win, and thus became world champions. In the 1980s, Maspoli spent several years coaching the Uruguay team, before being recalled as national manager in 1997.
