Sergio William Leal González (born 25 September 1982 in Rivera, Uruguay) is a football forward who plays for Greek Gamma Ethniki side Ergotelis.
Leal emerged from the youth team of Uruguayan Primera División club Peñarol and started his professional career signing a contract with the club in 2001. In March 2003 he was loaned out to Uruguayan Segunda División club Plaza Colonia, remaining there until the end of the season. During his spell with Plaza Colonia, Leal played in 30 games and scored 13 goals. He then returned to Peñarol in 2004, featuring in 36 games for the Aurinegros and scoring 10 goals. In June 2005, Leal joined Peruvian club Sporting Cristal on a season-long loan, and was part of the Primera División Peruana winning squad of 2005. Leal contributed to the success by scoring 11 goals in 39 games, a feat which earned him the honor of Peruvian Best Player of the Year.
Seeking better economic and professional horizons, Leal announced his departure from Sporting Cristal on April 2006, and signed with fellow Lima-based club USMP on October 2006. Early in January 2007, Leal was loaned out to Argentinian club Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata, playing in the Primera Division de Argentina on a six-month loan deal. The loan was extended for another six months at the end of May 2007, after the request of Gimnasia coach Francisco Maturana, and once again for an additional year to include the 2008 Clausura, after the player publicly expressed his desire to stay at the club for another year. During his loan spell to Gimnasia La Plata, Leal featured in 36 games and scored 2 goals. Then, on August 2008, he returned to Uruguay and signed with Primera División side Danubio.
