In 11 August 2012, Correa made his debut with Benfica B in a 2012–13 Segunda Liga match against Braga B where he entered at the 72 minute, replacing Djaniny as a striker.[2] The following matches, he gain the starting position as main striker.[3][4]

In February 2013, Correa returned to Sportivo Luqueño on loan until the end of the season.[5]

International career

Correa was in the Squad for the 2011 South American Youth Championship where he played in the 3 games and scored a goal. The most notable event was when he assaulted an Referee and was suspended 1 year from March 2011 to March 2012 from internacional matches. Since Paraguay U20 didn't qualify for 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup or the 2012 Summer Olympics, and Club Rubio Ñu didn't qualify for CONMEBOL competitions, the suspension had little practical effect. After that he was suspended again 4 games for red card in game of Club Rubio Ñu.[8][9][10]
