About the player
Cuesta came out of Tiro Federal in Argentina, where he played 38 matches and scored seven goals between 2008 and 2012.
What followed was a restless year. He joined Atlético Junior in Colombia in 2017 and won the Copa Colombia there, though he played only 13 league matches and scored once. He was back in Arequipa by 2018, and the second spell was his best: 40 goals in 60 matches, the Torneo Clausura in 2018, then 27 goals in 2019 to finish as the league's top scorer. A short 2020 in Thailand with Buriram United and in Mexico with Puebla produced one goal in 16 games. Every one of those moves was made as a free agent.
In September 2024 he tore the meniscus and ligaments in his right knee against Atlético Grau and was operated on in Buenos Aires. He took Peruvian citizenship in March 2023; no call-up has come.
