==Club career== He became a regular in the starting lineup for C.D. Victoria when he was only 18 years old.{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} He usually played right defender, but could also play as a defensive midfielder or a central defender. He played almost every match of the 2007–08 season where he got thirty caps and scored one goal.
After several years with Victoria (in their youth system and the first team), Crisanto sparked the interest of First Division club in Argentina, Godoy Cruz. The team found out about the young player after his teammate at Victoria, Diego Vázquez, suggested him to the directors at the club. The next week, Wilmer Crisanto was invited for a 15-day trial at the club. After impressing the coaches, his contract was finally signed. He was acquired on loan for six months by the team. thumb|left|Crisanto playing for the reserves of Godoy Cruz during their match against Newell's Old Boys in 2008
