In 1989–90 he increased his goal scoring further, scoring 22, including two in the 1989 final against Leones Negros.

In the 1993 tournament he was sent to Veracruz, where he spent two years scoring 15 goals in 64 games. In 1995, he returned to Puebla FC where he scored his last seven with the club. He finished with 83, placing himself third all time in the club's records. At the end of the tournament he left for his native Chile where he played with Club Deportivo O'Higgins for the 1996 tournament. In 1997, he again returned to Mexico to play with Unión de Curtidores where he retired.
