Matías Raúl Villarreal (born 16 January 1992) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Aldosivi.[3]
Club career
Villarreal initially played in the youth system of Luján de Cuyo, prior to spending two years in the ranks of Deportivo Guaymallén.[2] 2006 saw Villarreal head to Independiente Rivadavia, appearing exclusively for their youth sides up until 2011.[2][4][5] His senior debut arrived in Primera B Nacional on 7 May 2011 against CAI, with the central midfielder starting an eventual goalless home draw; though would be substituted off at the interval.[3] He had previously been on the bench versus San Martín a month prior.[3] Ten appearances later, Villarreal scored in a win over All Boys on 15 November 2014; a ninetieth minute winner.[3]
After sixty-nine matches for Independiente Rivadavia, Villarreal switched Primera B Nacional for Primera B Metropolitana after agreeing a move to Estudiantes in August 2017.[3] His first appearance came in a scoreless draw with UAI Urquiza on 3 September, while his opening goal came almost two years later against Sacachispas on 18 May 2019; in a campaign that concluded with promotion to the second tier.[3] Two further goals followed, in a victory over Mitre in February 2020, across twenty-three games in 2019–20.[3][4] July 2020 saw Villarreal join Primera División side Aldosivi under manager Guillermo Hoyos.[6][7]
Villarreal's top-flight debut occurred on 31 October 2020 in the Copa de la Liga Profesional against La Plata's Estudiantes; in a match that finished without any goals, just like his previous two club debuts did.[3][8]
International career
In February 2008, Villarreal received a call-up to train with the Argentina U17s.[9]
