Club career

Born in Córdoba, Ponzio graduated from hometown Instituto's youth setup. He played his first match as a professional on 28 May 2013, aged 17, in a 2-0 home loss against Gimnasia La Plata for the Primera B Nacional championship.[2]

On 2 June Ponzio was handed his first start, and scored his side's first in a 2–3 away defeat against CA Patronato.[3] He renewed his link with Instituto (which sold 20% of his rights to a business company) on 26 July 2013, signing until 2016.[4]

However, Ponzio was rarely played during the 2013–14 campaign, and subsequently was loaned to Spanish Segunda División B side CF Badalona on 5 September 2014.[5]
