Life

Stations as a player

Ayala began his professional career in 1968 at CA San Lorenzo de Almagro , with whom he was under contract until 1973 and with whom he won both championship titles in 1972 (both the Metropolitano and the Nacional ).

In the summer of 1973 he moved to the Spanish Primera División at Atlético Madrid , where he played for the next six years and won three titles with the Rojiblancos : on April 16, 1975 he scored in the second leg of the World Cup final (for 1974) against his “home club “ Independiente scored the decisive goal to make it 2-0 in the 85th minute, which meant the title after the 0-1 defeat in the first leg. In the following 1975/76 season he won the Spanish Cup with Atlético and the championship title a year later .

In 1979 he moved to the Mexican Primera División for CSD Jalisco . After this was relegated to the second division at the end of the 1979/80 season , Ayala signed in 1980 with the then capital club Atlante , in whose ranks he ended his active career in the 1983/84 season.

National team

Between 1971 and 1974 Ayala completed a total of 25 missions for the Argentine national team , scoring eleven goals. His most important goal was the 3-0 goal in the 55th minute of the 4-1 win against Haiti in the preliminary round of the 1974 World Cup . With this goal Ayala contributed significantly to the fact that Argentina could qualify for the second round with a goal difference that was one goal better than Italy, while the Azzurri had to return home after the preliminary round.

After the end of his active career, Ayala stayed in Mexico , where he has worked as a coach ever since.
