Cruz Azul

He debuted in Cruz Azul against Puebla on 14 February 2006. On 17 November 2006, his second game ever, he scored his first goal ever against Monterrey only having played 23 minutes. He did not really receive too many minutes until the Apertura 2002 when they put him in for 90 minutes and he scored 6 goals. The next tournament, with Abreu having an early departure in the early-half of the tournament because of contractual problems, Cacho became the team's prized forward with 8 goals in the regular league and two in the reclassification (in which Cruz Azul was eliminated). Unfortunately, Cacho was young and he was a local player which did not give him much priority with the different coaches that passed through Cruz Azul. In the tournament after, he was not able to play the first half of the tournament because Marcel Delgado and Cesar Delgado were brought to Cruz Azul. Cacho was finally put in as a starter in the last 5 games and was able to score 5 goals. In the reclassification and the quarter-finals, he was well covered by Tecos and Tigres, leaving Argentine Cesar Delgado, who had a great second game against Tigres, to take charge of the offense, so even though he was not scoring he was still a key element to the team. In the next league, Clausura 2004, Cacho, receiving very few minutes per game, went dry without having…

Cacho has recently been called up for the Mexico national team debuting in the Copa America in a stunning 2–0 win against Brazil. On 12 September 2007, he scored his first goal against Brazil, the team he debuted against a few months prior. He scored 3 goals in 2 games.
