Career

Acassuso were Capasso's opening career club, he joined them in 2013.[4] He was promoted into their senior squad under manager Walter Otta during the 2015 Primera B Metropolitana, marking his professional debut with a late cameo off the substitutes bench against Platense on 17 July.[1][5] Capasso scored the first goals of his career in November 2016, netting in consecutive league fixtures versus Deportivo Español and Deportivo Riestra.[1] He left Acassuso at the end of 2017–18, having made eighty-nine appearances while scoring five times for the club.[1][6] On 1 July 2018, Capasso was signed by Primera División side Defensa y Justicia.[1]

After no matches in five months for Defensa y Justicia, Capasso terminated his contract in January 2019 to move to fellow Primera División team Aldosivi.[7][8] He didn't appear competitively across the next seven months, subsequently leaving on loan in July 2019 to Primera B Nacional's Platense - the opponents of his career debut.[1] He scored goals for them against Estudiantes and Agropecuario in sixteen appearances.[9]

In February 2023, Capasso was transferred to the Brazilian Club Vasco da Gama.[3]
