Club career

A product of the Universidad de Concepción youth system, González began playing in the club's under-16 squad coached by Eduardo de la Barra, coming from Club Deportivo Luis Acevedo from San Pedro de la Paz.[2] He later debuted for the senior squad in 2005, and soon after became a regular starter. He then signed with Universidad de Chile. On January 9 he was transferred to Toluca of México. On May 15, 2010 he received two yellow cards in the semifinal of the second leg of El Bicentenario 2010. Due to his red card he missed the first leg of the final which Toluca eventually won. After a year and a half in Mexico, Osvaldo finally returned to Universidad de Chile in July 2011. He scored the equalizer goal of the game against Vasco da Gama in the semifinals of the 2011 Copa Sudamericana, which Universidad de Chile finished as champion.

International career

He has been capped for the Chile senior team fourteen times.[3] In addition, he represented Chile U23 at the 2008 Inter Continental Cup in Malaysia.[4]
