Club career
Hinestroza was born in Cali, Colombia and was trained at Orsomarso and made his debut in the Categoría Primera B for the club before joining América de Cali in 2019. He made his professional debut with the club on 8 May 2019, in a Copa Colombia match against Universitario Popayán. He came on as a substitute, and his team won 2–1.
On 19 February 2020, Hinestroza moved to Brazil to join Palmeiras on loan with an option to buy.[2] He was placed into the club's under-20 team and left Brazil without making a single first-team appearance.
Hinestroza refused to extend his contract with América de Cali and left on a free transfer in the summer of 2022, joining C.F. Pachuca on 7 June 2022.[3][4] He later claimed the club had been unwilling to meet his salary demands despite paying other players more.[5] Hinestroza played his first match for Pachuca on 5 July 2022, in a league match against Querétaro, coming on as a substitute. On 13 March 2023, in a match against Monterrey, Marino scored his first goal for Pachuca.
On 22 December 2023, Hinestroza moved to Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew, signing a contract until the end of the 2026 season with an option to extend until the 2027 season.[6] He scored his first goal for the Columbus Crew on March 30, 2024 in a 2–2 draw vs Nashville SC. On 13 July 2024, Hinestroza was issued a red card in the 90+7 minute for violent conduct vs Los Angeles FC, and never appeared for Columbus again as he was loaned out to Atlético Nacional until the end of the Major League Soccer season.[7][8]
Atlético Nacional
He made his debut for Atlético Nacional on 30 July 2024, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 loss to La Equidad. Hinestroza scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win over Atlético Junior. After his goal, Hinestroza put his hands behind his back, mimicking a shark (the nickname of Atlético Junior), and with his hands, mimed as if he were fishing.[9] The game was later abandoned because fights broke out in the crowd.[10] During his initial loan spell, he won two pieces of silverware, winning the Colombian Primera A title, and lifting the 2024 Copa Colombia, where he scored in the first leg of the final against América de Cali.[11]
Hinestroza was transferred to Atlético Nacional on a permanent deal in January 2025.[12] On February 6, he converted the decisive penalty in the Superliga Colombiana, securing another title for the club. He scored twice on March 4 against Fortaleza C.E.I.F.,[13] and repeated the feat on October 26 against Independiente Medellín.[14] Despite his contributions, Atlético Nacional failed to win either phase of the domestic league. He did, however, win the 2025 Copa Colombia, as Atlético Nacional defeated Independiente Medellín 1–0 on aggregate.[15]
In the Copa Libertadores, Hinestroza made an immediate impact, scoring on his debut against Nacional while also providing two assists in a 3–0 victory.[16] He added another assist in a 3–1 win over Internacional during the group stage.[17] The club was later eliminated in the Round of 16 by São Paulo, with Hinestroza missing the decisive penalty in the shootout.[18]
Vasco da Gama
In January 2026, Hinestroza was officially announced as a Vasco da Gama player, with the club paying approximately $5 million for 80% of his economic rights. Before the transfer, there was much talk about his potential move to Boca Juniors. He confirmed that he had everything agreed with Boca, but this was until Vasco da Gama entered the picture and changed the course of the negotiations. "I was always firm in my decision to go to Boca Juniors, then Vasco came along, and it no longer depended on me. [...] I'm very happy about this step in my career."[19]
International career
Hinestroza has represented the Colombian national team at the under-18 level.
