Career

Acuña began his career with Primera B Nacional club Rosario Central, making two appearances during the club's promotion-winning season of 2012–13.[1] In just his second Argentine Primera División match, Acuña scored his first career goal in a defeat to Vélez Sarsfield. In total, he made twenty appearances in the Primera División and scored five times.[1] Midway through the 2015 campaign, Acuña was loaned out to Olimpo until the end of the 2016 season.[2] He participated in twenty-six matches for Olimpo and scored six goals.[1] On 11 July 2016, Acuña signed for Colón on loan.[3]
