Career

[edit]

While playing for Sportivo Luqueño in 2001, Martínez was involved in an on-pitch altercation with players from San Lorenzo and received a 20-month ban from the Paraguayan Football Association. The ban was later reduced to 10 months.[1] Despite the ban, his coach, Mario Jacquet, applauded his winning mentality.[2]

The central defender participated in the 2008 Copa Libertadores for Sportivo Luqueño before moving to Peru to play for Alianza Lima in August 2008.[3]
