Marco Plaza

Everton and Ñublense

Plaza was developed by Everton and began his senior career with the Viña del Mar club. He remained associated with Everton until the end of 2004, while also spending time with Constitución Unido. In 2004, Plaza joined Ñublense, then competing in Chile's Tercera División. He became a member of the side that challenged Curicó Unido for the championship and promotion to the second tier. Ñublense and Curicó eventually required a deciding match in Linares on 28 December 2004. Plaza scored the opening goal as Ñublense won 2–0, earning the Tercera División championship and promotion to the Primera B. Contemporary coverage by Cooperativa named Plaza, goalkeeper Germán Irarrázabal and Ricardo Parada among the key figures in Ñublense's promotion campaign. Following the match, Plaza confirmed that his contract with Everton had ended and that he held his own registration rights. Years later, Plaza recalled the 2004 campaign as one of the most memorable promotions of his career, describing the large support received by Ñublense during the decisive matches of the season.
