One of the greatest Mexican goalkeepers retired today from football in a emotional goodbye with Cruz Azul. Oscar Perez said goodbye to the team and sport with whom he lived his greatest moments. Perez came back to say goodbye to the sport and started the match before bowing out in a tribute made by Cruz Azul, who brought him back just for this moment. Perez had his best moments with Cruz Azul, but also excelled in Pachuca, where he played since 2003, as well as also having spells with Tigres, Necaxa, San Luis and Chiapas.
With the Mexican National Team he went to three World Cups and was a starter in two of them (2002 and 2010), as well as being the starting keeper in the 2001 Copa America where Mexico finished in second place.
