Football career

Born in Montevideo, Urretaviscaya started off his career with hometown's Club Atlético River Plate, where he scored eight goals in 14 games. His first division debut came one month shy of his 18th birthday, as he scored in a 2–0 win against Liverpool Montevideo, in the Clausura's first game.[1]

On 2 July 2008, Urretaviscaya signed a contract with Portuguese giants Sport Lisboa e Benfica, for a fee of €1.26 million, being rarely used in his debut season. In January 2010, after having made almost no official appearances during 2009–10 – his only league game was against F.C. Porto, as the Reds had many players missings due to injuries and suspensions, and he put up a good performance, in a 1–0 home win for the eventual champions[2]- he was loaned to C.A. Peñarol for five months, thus returning to his country.

In late June 2010, Urretaviscaya was loaned to Deportivo de La Coruña, in a season-long move.[3] In the following transfer window, however, he returned to Peñarol, in the same predicament.
