Twelve appearances followed for Tiro Federal during the 2014 campaign.[1][2] He subsequently joined fellow Torneo Federal A outfit Talleres in January 2015.[1][3] Benítez played a total of three times for Talleres in 2015, which included a red card in his second match versus Juventud Unida Universitario.[1][2] Talleres won the league title that season which secured promotion to Primera B Nacional.[1] Benítez was let go to join Atlético Camioneros of Torneo Federal B soon after.[1][2] They won promotion to Torneo Federal A in 2017.[2]

gollark: Yep!
gollark: Yes, but I'd only include it if there was another 1 or 2-letter symbol in its code.
gollark: I'm going for including 1-letter element symbols too, as long as there's at least two of them.
gollark: _continues checking 300 dragons for periodic table codes_
gollark: In any case, it still seems really stupid wanting to control what order your dragons are viewed in, to me at least, especially since by default you'd see their chosen sort.
