Club career

Atlas

Pacheco made his club debut on 20 January 2008 in a game against Club Toluca. After his debut, he was used sparingly until the return of coach Ricardo La Volpe to Atlas. Thereafter, he got more playing time and became a favorite of La Volpe's. He is known for his speed, reflexes, shooting ability, and sacrifice on both the offensive and defensive sides. He is also known for his ability to play through the left, middle, and right sides of the field ranging from defensive, recovery, creative and offensive positions. On 31 January 2010 he played as a goalkeeper against Santos Laguna after Atlas goalkeeper Mariano Barbosa was sent off for a foul. He allowed one goal, but made a crucial save in the game. The final score was a 2–1 victory for Atlas. Pacheco would go on to play with the "Rojinegros" for another 3 years, making 94 appearances and scoring 11 goals. His last season with the club would be the 2011 Clausura.

Tigres UANL

In June 2011 Pacheco was being linked to various clubs in Europe,[2] most notably with Portuguese club Benfica.[3][4] It was reported that MLS club Houston Dynamo wanted to sign Pacheco, but the deal fell through at the last minute, with the player stating that he did not want to play in the MLS.[5] Mexican giants Club América[6] and Chivas Guadalajara[7] were also rumored as possible destinations. On 2 June 2011 he signed a $4 million contract with Tigres UANL.[8]

Pacheco played his first match with UANL on 30 July, in a 0–0 draw against Querétaro, coming in a substitute in the 76th minute.[9]

FC Juárez

International career

He would be called up again by new coach José Manuel de la Torre for a friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina on 9 February 2011, where he scored his first international goal in the 2–0 victory.[11]

2011 Copa América

He would be left out of both the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup squad and the 2011 Copa América squad. He was later re-called to the team to fill the space left by eight players who were suspended from the squad due to a prostitution scandal in Quito, Ecuador.[12] He would appear in all three group matches, were Mexico would finish fourth in their group, losing all three matches. It would be the team's worst finish in a Copa América tournament.
