Leonel Eduardo Pilipauskas Rodríguez (born 18 May 1975 in Montevideo) is an Uruguayan professional footballer who plays for Boston River mainly as a defensive midfielder.

Club career

In his country Pilipauskas played for C.A. Bella Vista, C.A. Peñarol and Centro Atlético Fénix. This was punctuated by a spell with Spanish club Atlético Madrid in the 1999–2000 season, which was anything but successful (only four La Liga matches, relegation to Segunda División).[1]

In 2005, Pilipauskas moved to neighbouring Argentina, going on to represent Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba[2] and Club Atlético Platense, the former in the Primera División. He briefly returned to Fénix in between.

International career

Pilipauskas made four appearances for Uruguay during 1999, including two matches at that year's Copa América.[3] His debut came on 17 June in a friendly with Paraguay, in Ciudad del Este.
