An accomplished penalty kick taker and widely regarded as the best Argentine right winger of all time, Corbatta earned more than 40 caps for the national side in the 50s/60s, and represented the country at the 1958 World Cup.

Born in Daireaux, Buenos Aires Province to an Italian immigrant from Recanati and an Argentine mother,[3] Corbatta gave his first steps in football playing for Estudiantes de La Plata at 14 years old.

[4] Corbatta started his professional career on 30 April 1955, making his debut in Argentine Primera División in a 0–1 loss against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata.

[5] In 1963, Corbatta joined Boca Juniors for 12 million pesos, with which Racing was able to improve the conditions in its stadium and build new sporting facilities.

He returned to his country for spells with lower league sides San Telmo, Italia Unidos and Tiro Federal, retiring from football at the age of 38.

[6] He was part of the South American Championship-winning team in 1957, when he formed a legendary attacking line with Humberto Maschio, Antonio Angelillo, Omar Sívori and Osvaldo Héctor Cruz.

Corbatta also appeared in the 1958 FIFA World Cup in Sweden, contributing with three goals in three games in an eventual group stage exit.
