Career
In January 1999, he was transferred, on loan, to the Serbian club FK Vojvodina together with another Argentinian player, Hernán Marcos. Unfortunatelly to his career there, the NATO Bombing of FR Yugoslavia, interrupted the league season by the end of March. After the players had been told by the club officials that they could begin their hollydays earlier, since that season was not going to be played any longer, and was declared finished with the standings finded in the time of interruption as definitive, some players, and Carabajal among them, refused to leave, as a show of solidarity. That act is never going to be forgotten by the FK Vojvodina club supporters, that will always remember Carabajal and that entire generation. After having played one season in the Spanish Second League club Recreativo Huelva, and spent another year in Mexico, Mauro decided to continue his career in the United States, where in 2004 he signed with Syracuse Salty Dogs. In 2005 moved to USL First Division club Rochester Raging Rhinos. Since 2007, he has played in another U.S. club, the Deportivo Lempira.
