With Quito, Domínguez has won two Ecuadorian Serie A titles, the 2008 Copa Libertadores and the 2009 Copa Sudamericana.[2]

Domínguez is one of the top 300 goalkeepers in the world, the third highest ranked Ecuadorian, and the highest ranked active Ecuadorian in terms of time spent without conceding a goal. From 2 September 2007 to 28 October 2007, he went 719 minutes without conceding a goal.[3]

International career

Domínguez received his first call-ups for the senior Ecuador national football team in May 2010 for friendlies against Mexico and South Korea. However, he remained an unused substitute. Because of club-related commitments, he would not receive another call-up until February 2011 for a friendly against Honduras. Again, he was an unused substitute. Manager Reinaldo Rueda finally gave Domínguez his first cap on 26 March 2011 in a 2–0 friendly defeat to Colombia.[2] At the 2011 Copa América, he served as back-up to Marcelo Elizaga.

He established himself as Ecuador's first choice goalkeeper during the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, making 12 appearances for La Tri.[2]

On June 2014, Domínguez was named in Ecuador's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[4] On 15 June, he made his FIFA World Cup debut in a 2–1 defeat to Switzerland at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha in Brasília.[5]

On June 25th, 2014, Domínguez was named Man of the match vs. France on Ecuador's final match at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Domínguez Kept a Clean Sheet and stopped shots from the likes of Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba, and Olivier Giroud.[6][7][8]
