Liber Quiñones arrived at Universitario in 2015 to be the main goal scorer. The Uruguayan forward, who had had great seasons in his native country and also in Mexico, decided to play for the crema squad with the aim of achieving the long-awaited 27th title. However, things did not go as planned and many fans could not tolerate his lack of effectiveness.

The Uruguayan striker didn't even finish the season with the team from Ate. In mid-year, experienced coach Luis Fernando Suárez had taken charge of the team and informed the administration that he would not count on the forward. For that reason, in June, the club and the player reached a mutual agreement to terminate the contract.
The most curious thing of all is that Quiñones, despite only scoring a couple of times with 'U', ended up making history for the club and also for Peruvian football with his goal against Alianza Atlético in the Torneo del Inca. How did he achieve it?
It turns out that Liber Quiñones scored 8 seconds into the match thanks to the wit of the 'merengue' players. The 'charrúa' just got into the box and pushed the ball to make it 1-0 against the northerners. That match ended in victory for the team, who were then led by Carlos Silvestri (Suárez arrived later).
What is Liber Quiñones' current situation?
Currently, Liber Quiñones is 36 years old and is playing in the second division of Uruguayan football with Club Atlético Cerro. He arrived last season and has renewed his contract with the 'Vileros' to try to achieve promotion in 2022.
