Born in Santiago, Asta-Buruaga was an Unión Española youth graduate. On 29 July 2012, aged just 15, he made his senior debut for the reserve team by playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 Segunda División Profesional de Chile away loss against Deportes Iberia.[1]

For the 2016–17 season, Asta-Buruaga was loaned to fellow top tier club Deportes Antofagasta. Rarely used, he scored his first goal 20 November 2016, netting his team's only in a 5–1 loss at Universidad Católica.[4]
