Club career
Early career
During the winter break of the 2010–11 Swiss Super League season Lezcano transferred from FC Wil to FC Thun.[2] He scored his first goal for the club during his first appearance on 6 February 2011 in the 3–2 home defeat against FC Basel.[3]
FC Luzern
During the winter break of the 2011–12 Swiss Super League season Lezcano transferred to Luzern. He played his team debut on 19 February 2012 in the goalless draw away against Lausanne-Sport.
In his second game on 25 February he scored his first two goals for his new club in the 2–0 home win against BSC Young Boys.[4]
While playing for Luzern, Lezcano was banned eight matches[5] for assaulting referee Fedayi San, who showed him a second yellow card. The player then pushed the referee's chest, knocking the red card out of his hand. Imposing the ban, the league said in a statement that "respect for referees is a fundamental part of the game."
