Cristhian Stuani

Danubio

Born in Tala, Canelones, Stuani started his professional career with Danubio. In 2005, he went on loan to Bella Vista in the Uruguayan Segunda División, performing well enough to be recalled.

Reggina

In January 2008, after scoring 19 goals in the 2007 Apertura with Danubio, Stuani was signed by Reggina in Italy, penning a four-year contract with the Serie A club. He made his official debut on the 12th, playing 30 minutes in a 1–1 away draw against Empoli. When Stuani joined, the Reggio Calabria team was second from bottom and had the fewest goals scored, following Rolando Bianchi's departure for Manchester City the previous summer; he went scoreless in 12 games, but they managed to stay up. In 2008–09, he scored his only league goal from a penalty kick in the last round, a 1–1 home draw against Siena, having only appeared in four more matches during the entire season, which ended in top-flight relegation. On 31 July 2009, Stuani joined Albacete in the Segunda División, on loan. He finished the campaign with 22 goals in 39 matches, including hat-tricks in victories over Castellón and Córdoba, putting him in second in the scoring charts behind Elche's Jorge Molina, but his side only finished two points above the relegation zone. Stuani remained in the country and on loan for 2010–11, but moved to La Liga with Levante. He was used mostly as a backup to Felipe Caicedo, but still contributed eight goals – second-best in the squad – as the Valencians…

Stuani made his senior debut for Uruguay on 14 November 2012, in a friendly with Poland (3–1 away win). On 10 September of the following year, he scored his first international goal, helping to a 2–0 home victory against Colombia for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. On 13 November 2013, he netted the Charrúas' second in their 5–0 win in Jordan for the playoffs first leg, finishing Nicolás Lodeiro's cross at close range. Stuani was selected by manager Óscar Tabárez for the finals in Brazil. He scored in both of Uruguay's warm-up matches for the tournament, the only goal of the game against Northern Ireland after coming on at half-time for Diego Forlán, and the second in a 2–0 win over Slovenia. He made his tournament debut on 14 June, starting in a 3–1 loss to Costa Rica in Fortaleza, and added a further three bench appearances in a round-of-16 exit. Stuani was named in Uruguay's 2015 Copa América squad, as they attempted to defend their continental crown. He played twice for the quarter-finalists, in both cases as a substitute. Stuani was included in the final 23-man squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. His first match in the competition took place on 30 June, when he replaced Edinson Cavani (who had scored twice) for the final 16 minutes of the 2–1 round-of-16 victory over Portugal. He started in the next match due to injury to the same teammate, and played 59 minutes in the 2–0 defeat against France. In seven years of international action, Stuani earned 50 caps and…
