Career
[edit]Born in Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, Benítez finished his formation with Gimnasia La Plata. On 6 November 2010 he made his first-team – and Primera División – debut, coming on as a late substitute for Milton Casco in a 1–0 home win against Quilmes.[1]
Benítez remained as a backup during the following years, also suffering relegation in 2012. He scored his first senior goal on 28 May 2013, netting the last in a 2–0 away win against Instituto in the Primera B Nacional.[2]
After being immediately promoted back to the top tier, Benítez was more utilized in the main squad, but as a left back. He scored his first goal in the category on 16 August 2015, netting his team's second in a 4–2 home success over Argentinos Juniors.[3]
