Alberto Mendoza (* in Toluca ), also known by the nickname Caballo , was a Mexican football player in the position of striker who was the top scorer of the Mexican football league with 15 goals in the 1939/40 season .

Life

Mendoza began his footballing career in the 1930s with his hometown club Deportivo Toluca and moved to the capital city club Atlante in 1939 to play in the lucrative capital league.

There he was in the 1939/40 season with 15 goals scored straightaway top scorer of the league. In the following seasons he scored nine (1940/41) and 13 hits (1941/42), also in the dress of the CF Atlante. His greatest success with the Potros was winning the championship in the 1940/41 season.

The 1942/43 season he also began in the dress of Atlante, for which he contributed a goal to the 2-1 victory of the Atlantistas in the first game against Asturias on October 18, 1942 . However, it remained his only goal for Atlante and he moved in the same year to the Asturianos , for whom he first met on December 13, 1942 in the " Spanish derby " against Real Club España (4-1). He was also accurate in the "second leg" played against his old comrades from Atlante on February 7, 1943, in which he contributed two goals to the 3-2 victory of his new team.

With the introduction of the professional league from the 1943/44 season, he moved to Club Marte , for which he scored a total of 27 goals over the next two years. His most successful game during this period, which was won 5-1 and in which he scored three goals, took place on March 23, 1944 against his former club Atlante. His goals to 2-0, 3-0 and 4-0 within just four minutes between the 64th and 67th minute meant not only a flawless hat - trick , but one of the fastest hat-tricks in football history. Nevertheless, "Caballo" Mendoza with his total of twelve hits in the 1943/44 season could not prevent last year's champions Marte from finishing last in the table.

The following 1944/45 season was also disappointing for Marte. Although Mendoza scored a total of 15 goals, the team finished only eleventh (of 13 teams) at the end of the season. It also didn't help that he had shot his team 1-0 lead in both derbies against eventual champions España, because in the end the Marcianos had to admit defeat 5-1.

He spent the 1945/46 season at Club León and in the same he experienced his most accurate game in the Mexican professional league. It was the encounter with the capital city club América on December 16, 1945 , in which he - once in his professional career - scored four goals in one game. After scoring the opening goal in the fourth minute of the game, he managed another hat trick between the 48th and 79th minutes before his teammate Marcos Aurelio made the final score 5-0 in the 84th minute.

In the following season 1946/47 he stayed in León and played for city rivals San Sebastián , for whom he scored a total of 16 goals; including a goal for a 2-1 lead in the 70th minute against his former club and city rival León (final score 2-2).
