Matosas received his first professional contract before the 1961 season with Club Atlético Peñarol , where he played until the end of 1964 and with which he won several national and international titles. At national level he won the championship in 1961, 1962 and 1964, at international level he won the Copa Libertadores in 1961 and in the same year was part of the squad that won the World Cup against Benfica Lisbon .
In early 1965 he moved to the Argentine top club River Plate , where he was under contract until the end of 1968, but could not win any important title. The sporting highlight of this four-year era were the final games for the Copa Libertadores, which were held in May 1966 and were lost after a long battle in a third play-off with 2: 3 after extra time against his former club Peñarol.
He then returned to Peñarol and went to Mexico in 1972 , where he was under contract for two years each, first with San Luis FC and then with Deportivo Toluca . In the ranks of the Diablos Rojos , he won the Mexican football championship in the 1974/75 season .
