Career

Club career

Oreste Corbatta began his football career in 1955 at the Racing Club from Avellaneda, an industrial suburb of Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires . With the Racing Club, where he played with other Argentine football greats of the time such as Humberto Maschio , Pedro Dellacha and Rubén Héctor Sosa , Corbatta won the Argentine football championship twice during his time at the club. In 1958, the Racing Club took first place in the table after the last matchday with three points ahead of the Boca Juniors from Buenos Aires. Three years later, Corbatta won the second title with the Racing Club when they were first in the Primera División with seven points ahead of CA San Lorenzo de Almagro . A year later, in 1962, Omar Corbatta left the Racing Club after eight years and 177 games (72 goals) and joined the Boca Juniors. Although he only played sporadically here, he won the Argentine football championship twice in his four years at Boca, but mostly only as a reserve player. In 1965 he changed clubs again and went to Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia , where he played football from 1965 to 1968 without winning a national championship. In 1970 he played a season at the lower class club CA San Telmo, where he again completed 33 games. In 1971 he ended his active career with Italia Unidos, also a lower class club. 1973 Corbatta returned once more to the football field and played another year for CA Tiro Federal , at that time not to be found in the upper leagues.

National team

Omar Corbatta completed 43 games for the Argentine national football team between 1956 and 1962 , in which he scored eighteen goals. He was in the squad of the Argentine team for the 1958 World Cup in Sweden . In qualifying he had scored three of the ten Argentinian goals. At the tournament in Scandinavia, Corbatta was used in all three games of his team. He scored one goal in every game, with two goals being scored from the penalty spot. But even the goals of Omar Corbatta could not prevent the early elimination of the Argentine team, which ended the preliminary round as bottom of the table behind defending champions Germany , Northern Ireland and Czechoslovakia . There was only one win (3-1 against Northern Ireland), while two games were lost. Corbatta's time on the national team lasted until 1962. In qualifying, Corbatta scored twice from the penalty spot. When he was not nominated for the 1962 World Cup by the new national coach Juan Carlos Lorenzo , who had inherited Guillermo Stábile , he ended his national team career.

Late years

The life of Corbatta, who was married four times, was marked by alcoholism and was already precarious in the final phase of his active years. Most recently, he lived in a room in the Estadio Presidente Perón , the stadium of the Racing Club, for which he performed auxiliary services and also contributed to the training of the young teams. In 1991, Corbatta died of throat cancer in La Plata at the age of 55 . In his honor, the architect Daniel Zimmermann designed a statue of Omar Corbatta, which is located in Avellaneda. In addition, a street leading to the stadium was named after the famous racing club player.
