Once Caldas and Deportivo Azogues
In 2005 he moved on loan to the reigning Copa Libertadores winner Once Caldas in Colombia . There he was unable to assert himself, however, and moved back to Guayaquil in the middle of the year. After another one and a half seasons, he moved to Deportivo Azogues in early 2007 . Since he was already 36 years old at the time, many considered this station to be the last of his career.

As in 1998, he also became an international protagonist during the season. In the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores 2008 Liga de Quito defeated the Argentine club CA San Lorenzo on penalties, with Cevallos parrying the decisive shot from Aureliano Torres . In the semi-final against Club América from Mexico , he helped with his saves in the second leg in Quito that a 0-0 after 1-1 in the first leg was enough for the final. In the final against Fluminense FC , in which the away goals rule was suspended, his team lost 3-1 after a 4-2 in the first leg in Quito in the second leg in Rio de Janeiro , so that there was again extra time and finally a penalty shoot-out.

Here, however, Cevallos only played in the second leg when he came on for Alexander Domínguez in the 62nd minute . In the final of the Recopa Sudamericana 2010 Cevallos played the second leg against Estudiantes de La Plata , in which he did not concede a goal in Quilmes and won the cup again after a 2-1 in the first leg in Quito.
Cevallos remained in the Liga de Quito squad until 2011, although he was no longer a regular goalkeeper in the last two seasons. In the final of the Copa Sudamericana 2009 , which his team won again against Fluminense, Alexander Domínguez stood between the posts as well as in the first legs for the Recopa Sudamericana 2009 and 2010.
