Club career

Machuca's career began in 2013 with Almirante Brown of Primera B Nacional.[1][3] He was an unused substitute for fixtures with Gimnasia y Esgrima, Banfield and Nueva Chicago before making his professional bow on 3 June 2013 during a 1–3 loss against Olimpo.[1] On 30 June, Machuca joined Primera C Metropolitana's Liniers on loan.[4] After not featuring in 2013–14 as they were relegated, he made thirteen appearances in the 2014 Primera D Metropolitana.[1] Machuca went back to Almirante Brown in 2015, with them now in Primera B Metropolitana.[1][5] Goals versus Deportivo Español and Villa San Carlos arrived across four seasons.[1][6]

In September 2019, following one hundred matches for Almirante Brown, Machuca completed a move to Mexican football with Ascenso MX side Alebrijes de Oaxaca.[7][8] He didn't feature in the league for the club, though did appear in Copa MX games against Veracruz.[1] On 3 February 2020, Machuca returned to his homeland with Primera B Nacional's Temperley.[9] In July 2021, Machuca moved to fellow league club Almagro.[10]
