Leandro Daniel Requena (born 11 September 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for C.D. Cobresal.[1]
Career
[edit]Requena had a youth stint with Deportivo Yocsina, before joining Talleres who he began his senior career with in 2006.[2][3] He made twenty-eight league appearances for the club during his eight-year stay, including appearing in five games in the 2012–13 Torneo Argentino A.[1][3] While with Talleres, Requena was loaned out on three occasions - twice to Sportivo Patria in the third tier.[1][3] On 19 August 2013, Requena was loaned to Uruguayan Segunda División side Atenas.[1] He departed midway through the 2013–14 campaign after twelve appearances, with his final match being a 2–1 defeat to Rampla Juniors on 14 December 2013.[1]
Santamarina completed the permanent signing of Requena in January 2015.[1] After participating in forty-five fixtures as Santamarina lost in the promotion play-offs to Patronato, Requena moved across Primera B Nacional with Crucero del Norte in January 2016 before having further stints with Ferro Carril Oeste and Nueva Chicago in the succeeding two years.[1][4] 2018 saw Requena join Los Andes.[1][5] He made his debut on 16 September in a home loss to Sarmiento at the Estadio Eduardo Gallardón.[1]
He scored one of the longest goals in soccer's history in Chile on March 18, 2023, when his kick from his goal sent the ball all the way to the opposing side's goal without assistance, the ball bouncing once before flying over the head of the opposing goalkeeper, who was forwardly positioned and could not then stop it.[6][7]
