Club career
[edit]2 de Mayo
[edit]Born in Villarrica, Moreira started his career with 2 de Mayo, as a midfielder.[1] Promoted to the first team in June 2009,[2] he made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 20 June, coming on as a late substitute for Domingo Martínez in a 2–1 away loss against Nacional.
Moreira scored his first professional goal on 14 August 2009, netting the fourth in a 5–0 home routing of Tacuary.[3] He finished his first senior season with two goals in 16 appearances.
Libertad
[edit]In December 2009, Moreira moved to Libertad ahead of the ensuing campaign.[4] In 2011, after the injury of Carlos Bonet, he was converted into a right back by manager Gregorio Pérez, and started to feature regularly in that position onwards.[5]
Whilst at the club, Moreira won five league titles and scored six goals.
River Plate
[edit]On 21 July 2016, Moreira moved abroad for the first time in his career, joining Argentine Primera División side River Plate after agreeing to a four-year contract.[6] He made his debut abroad ten days later, starting in a 3–0 Copa Argentina home defeat of CS Rivadavia Venado Tuerto.[7]
Moreira made his top tier debut on 28 August 2016, playing the full 90 minutes in a 4–1 home routing of Banfield.[8] He scored his first goal for the club the following 27 April, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 win at Emelec, for the year's Copa Libertadores.[9]
In October 2017, Moreira suffered an injury which took him out of the 2017 Copa Libertadores semifinals.[10] He then subsequently underwent surgery in his right knee, being estimated to return under three months;[11] however, setbacks meant that he only could return in August 2018, nearly ten months from his last appearance.[12]
Portland Timbers
[edit]On 20 February 2019, Moreira was acquired by Portland Timbers on loan from Club Atlético River Plate of Argentina.[13] On 18 June 2020, Portland announced that Moreira would return to River Plate after the two club's were unable to agree on a transfer fee to make the move permanent.[14]
International career
[edit]Moreira represented Paraguay at under-17 and under-20 levels.[15] On 25 March 2010, he was first called up for the full side by manager Gerardo Martino for a friendly against South Africa.[16]
Moreira made his full international debut on 31 March 2010, replacing Jonathan Santana in the 1–1 draw at the Estadio Defensores del Chaco in Asunción.[17]
