Between 1962 and 1965 he was demonstrably under contract with Poza Rica FC .

He scored his first two international goals in a World Cup qualifier against Canada on June 30, 1957 , which was won 3-0. With his 1-0 goals in the 5th minute and 3-0 in the 72nd minute, González played a key role in this success. He scored two more international goals in the games against Costa Rica (3: 0) on March 19, 1960 and against the Netherlands (3: 1) on June 26, 1960. His last international appearance was in Mexico's highest international defeat, when " el Tri "on May 10, 1961 defeated the" motherland of football ", England, 8-0.
