His oldest brother Andrés played for Club Atlético Independiente and Racing Club de Avellaneda, while Norberto played for River Plate and Union Espanola of Chile. Óscar began with Club Atlético River Plate's reserve team playing in the fourth division before joining the first team as a right-side attacker (an extremo derecha).[2]
