On 3 March 2017, he made his continental club debut at the 2017 Copa Sudamericana, in a 3–0 away defeat against Deportivo Anzoategui, away in Venezuela.[citation needed] Norberto scored his first continental goal in the return game in Buenos Aires, a 4–0 win that saw Huracán go through to the next round.[4]
On 17 June 2021, Briasco signed a four-year contract with Boca Juniors.[5] He stayed with the club until August 2024, when he was loaned to La Plata's club Gimnasia y Esgrima for the term of 18 months.[2][6]
