Club career

After playing in every youth rank at Real Betis, Ezequiel made his first team debut as a second-half substitute in a 4–1 home win against Granada CF, in Segunda División.[1] Three days later, he started in the season's Copa del Rey, a 2–1 home success against UD Salamanca,[2] and signed a professional contract the following day, until July 2014.[3]

International career

On 24 July 2010, whilst representing Spain's under-19 at the 2010 UEFA European Football Championship, Ezequiel scored from a penalty kick against Italy in the group stage. It was described by The Guardian as being "on an altogether higher plane of spot-kick audacity",[4] as the national side eventually finished in second position in France.
