Dagoberto Fontes was born in Maldonado, Uruguay 80 years ago, the footballer played for Puebla and Danubio, and would be remembered in the match between Brazil and Uruguay, for the semifinal of the 1970 World Cup (the only one in his career) for a curious move: when he tried to disarming Pelé, the "King of Football" landed an elbow on the Uruguayan's face and both fell to the lawn. The perfection of the move confused the Spanish referee José Ortíz de Mendibíl, who, instead of punishing Pelé, called a foul by Fontes
