In 2007, Benítez was part of the Lanús squad that won the first top flight championship in the club's history. In May 2008, Benítez agreed a four-year contract to play for Porto in the Primeira Liga.[3] On 17 August 2009, Porto loaned the Argentine left-back to Leixões for a season.[4] However, in October 2009, Benitez signed for Argentine club San Lorenzo, as replacement for the injured left-backs Aureliano Torres and Sebastián Luna.[5]
