He was the youngest goalkeeper to play in that tournament, where he saw action in Mexico’s three matches. He appeared in one match at the 1954 World Cup and in three at the 1958 tournament; at the 1962 World Cup in Chile, he became the first footballer ever to appear in four World Cups, also helping his team win its first-ever World Cup match when they defeated Czechoslovakia 3-1 in the first round.
