Career

Cabinho met on 19 July 1974 at the age of 26 in Mexico and brought it in his first season there on a total of 16 results. Although he remained 1974/75 still below potential, but has already delivered a foretaste of the coming years.

In his "worst" season within these seven years, he brought it to "only" 26 goals - and the top scorer had to share with his teammate Hugo Sánchez, who at that time ( 1978/79 ) also stood by the Pumas under contract. In the other six seasons, he never scored less than 29 goals and 1976/77 he even on 34 results. Overall, he scored only in these seven seasons 213 gates, which corresponds to an annual average of 30.4 hits.

Throughout his active career in Mexico Castro completed 415 games in which he scored 312 goals. This corresponds to an average of 0.75 per game scoring. A truly impressive record of the striker, who was as likely as any other top scorer of Mexico.
