Francisco Sebastián Córdova Reyes (born 12 June 1997) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga MX club América and the Mexico national team.
Club career
Born in Aguascalientes, Córdova joined the youth academy of Club América in 2015. He spent 2016 on loan with Ascenso MX side Alebrijes de Oaxaca, only managing two appearances between league and Copa MX, totaling 21 minutes of action; in his sole Ascenso MX appearance, Córdova came on as a 85th minute substitute against Murciélagos in Oaxaca's 4–1 victory. He played 16 minutes in Oaxaca's scoreless draw against the same opposition in the Copa MX.[1] Following the loan spell, Córdova returned to Club América's youth side.[2]
In 2018, Córdova joined Necaxa on loan, with whom he made his competitive debut in the Supercopa MX victory over Monterrey, scoring the game's only goal.[3] He made his Liga MX debut on 14 August against Lobos BUAP.[4]
Córdova returned to América prior to the start of the 2019 Clausura, and scored twice in seven league matches during the tournament.[4] On 29 September, Córdova scored a brace in América's 4–1 Apertura victory over rivals Guadalajara.[5]
International career
On 2 October 2019, Córdova earned his first cap for the Mexico senior squad in a friendly match against Trinidad and Tobago.[6] The following month, he scored his first goal with Mexico in their Nations League match against Bermuda, the first in the team's 2–1 win.[7]
