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 highly regarded by the FK Vojvodina club supporters.
After having played one season in the Spanish Second League club Recreativo Huelva, and spent another year in Mexico with Huastecos, Mauro Carabajal continued his career in the United States playing with West Michigan Edge. In 2004, he signed with USL A-League side Syracuse Salty Dogs in their last season before beng disolved. In 2005 he moved to USL First Division club Rochester Raging Rhinos.
