Tomás Ordóñez

Tomás Ordóñez is a former football player who was under contract with CF Asturias from at least the 1940/41 season to the 1946/47 season and played with this club in the Mexican Mayor League, which was officially an amateur league until the 1942/43 season held and has had the status of a professional league since the 1943/44 season .

Life

Ordóñez scored at least 25 goals in the Liga Mayor and two goals in the Copa México for the Asturianos .

He was particularly fond of scoring against “Spanish” arch-rivals Real Club España , against whom he scored three of his four goals in the 1940/41 season: first one goal at the start of the season in the 3-1 win in the league on July 28, 1940, then a goal in the 2: 4 defeat on January 5, 1941 (also in a league game) and his most important goal that season in the cup final on May 18, 1941, which ended 2: 2. Because the Españistas then refused to play a necessary replay, Asturias was awarded the cup victory at the green table.

For the first time in the 1942/43 season Ordóñez scored in a league game played on April 1, 1943 against the Union Deportiva Moctezuma de Orizaba a "double pack" and it was also his last goal in the Liga Mayor, which was officially operated on an amateur basis this season. Ironically, he scored his first goal in the new professional league on December 23, 1943 against the Asociación Deportiva Orizabeña , the other team from Orizaba .

Ordóñez scored "double packs" in the professional league on December 30, 1943 in a 6-2 win against the Tiburones Rojos Veracruz , on November 12, 1944 in a 7-0 win against Club America , on December 2, 1945 in a 6: 5 against the CF Monterrey and on August 18, 1946 in a 4: 3 against Club Deportivo Guadalajara .

Ordóñez scored his last goal in the Liga Mayor on October 23, 1946 again against old rivals España and it was also the decisive and only goal of the encounter that consequently decided the Asturianos 1-0 in their favor.
