Sergio Rodríguez

Who is Sergio Rodríguez?

Sergio Rodríguez is a Mexican footballer who currently plays as goalkeeper for Alebrijes de Oaxaca on loan from Guadalajara.

Rodríguez replaced starting goalkeeper Luis Ernesto Michel for the 2008 Mexican Apertura season, after Michel broke his forearm while playing the Superliga against Atlante. Sergio made his debut on July 28, 2008 against Cruz Azul. Having not even touched the ball in the game, Rodríguez stopped a penalty kick from Miguel Sabah during the second minute, making the stop his first ever play in the Mexican Primera División. The future seemed promising for the young goalkeeper, but it quickly turned sour, as he received 17 goals in 9 games. He also allowed 5 goals in a friendly against FC Barcelona.

Rodríguez was later relegated to the bench, due to the many mistakes he made and the goals allowed. He was replaced by Víctor Hugo Hernández.
