In 1964, he became top scorer in the league with 16 goals. With Uribe, Universitario reached the final of the Copa Libertadores in 1972, which they lost against Independiente of Argentina. He played 10 A-level international matches for Peru (scoring twice), but wore the national shirt ten more times, including at the 1960 Olympics. After his retirement, he remained loyal to his club, and trained lower level teams for “U” for many years. He died of bone cancer at age 65
