Eduardo Bennett (born September 11, 1968 in La Ceiba , Atlántida ), also known by the nickname Balín , is a former Honduran football player on the position of a striker .

career

Bennett received his first professional contract in 1987 with the CD Curaçao. There he belonged in the seasons 1988/89 and 1989/90 to the squad of the team that was represented for the only time in the club's history in the highest Honduran football league .

After the relegation of the CD Curaçao in the summer of 1990, Bennett moved to the record champions CD Olimpia and a year later to the Cobras Ciudad Juárez . With the Cobras he reached the final of the Mexican Cup competition in the 1991/92 season . Bennett gave his team a 1-0 lead against their north Mexican rivals CF Monterrey in the first minute, but could not prevent the 2-4 defeat in the final. But worse for the Cobras was the course of the league round of the 1991/92 season, which was held after the cup tournament. This was completed with only 20 points (from 38 games) in last place, so that the team was relegated to the second division . After Bennett had kept loyal to the team in the 1992/93 season in the Segunda División , he moved to Argentina in 1993 . There he played for two years at Club Atlético San Lorenzo de Almagro , with whom he won the Argentine football championship in the Clausura of the 1994/95 season . After this success he moved to the Argentinos Juniors , where Diego Armando Maradona had started his career in the 1970s. Now in his thirties, Bennett had to take a long break due to injury for the first time in his athletic career.

In early 2000, Bennett moved to the Chilean club CD Cobreloa , but soon returned to Argentina, where he had brief positions at the Chacarita Juniors and the Quilmes AC . His great years were now over and so he went back to his homeland in the winter of 2002/03, where he still played for various clubs in the first and second division.

As a national team player, Bennett scored the very first goal in the history of the CONCACAF Gold Cup for Honduras on June 28, 1991 in a 4-2 win over Canada . At the premiere tournament, Honduras won the preliminary group before Mexico and reached the final against hosts USA , which only had to be defeated on penalties .
