[edit] Free Kicks

"El Jefe" has scored four goals in his five year career at Atlante. While it doesn't sound like many, it is good considering he is a goalkeeper. All the goals were scored from free kicks. Another consideration, is that he actually does not take many of the free kicks for Atlante. When he does, they are struck more than well. The first one, against Necaxa, was scored on February 1, 2004. The second was scored on August 12, 2006, against Cruz Azul.^[3] He also scored a goal by free kick against the Chilean champion Colo-Colo during an exhibition match. Also on October 8, 2008 he scored another goal on a free kick against CD Olimpia of Honduras in the CONCACAF Champions League.
