Deportivo Municipal announced the signing of their second foreign player to face the Liga 1 2022. It is Orlando Gaona Lugo, a 32-year-old Paraguayan player who emerged from the youth divisions of Boca Juniors, and who plays as a winger on both sides and comes from Nacional de Asunción.
Gaona is the tenth footballer to join 'La Academia' for this season, after Argentine defender Fernando Evangelista, Christopher OIivares, Christian Flores, Jair Toledo, Anthony Quijano, the returns of Carlos Solís, Steven Rivadeneyra, and Jair Céspedes, and the loan of Diego Soto, who belongs to Sporting Cristal.
The Paraguayan winger made his debut for Boca Juniors on May 15, 2010, in a 3-0 defeat against Banfield. He was considered one of the great promises of the 'xeneize' youth academy, and caught everyone's attention when he scored 4 goals in 5 minutes during a Reserve match against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata.
