Career

Benítez holds the all-time highest goalscorer record for Paraguay in a single match: Four goals against Bolivia in the 1949 South American Championship.^[5]

Benítez suffered from heart problems, thus when he signed with Argentine club Boca Juniors in 1949 a clause in his contract specified that he was the sole responsible for the risks of playing with such condition.^[6]

In the years 1956 e 1957, played for Náutico. Despite not having won any title in the lands of Pernambuco, stood out next to the attacker Ivson.
