Career
[edit]Formed in Colón's youth categories, Miguel Ángel Ortiz stood out in particular at Montevideo Wanderers and Atlético Mineiro, where he scored goals from penalties. He was the first goalkeeper to score a goal in the Copa Libertadores, on 5 April 1975, for Wanderers against Unión Huaral.[1]
For Atlético Mineiro he made 100 appearances and scored 7 goals,[2] 2 of which came in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, against CRB and Vasco da Gama.[3] He was state champion with the club in 1976, but fell out of favor with the fans after an accusation of bribery to hand over a match to rival Cruzeiro in 1977.[4] He ended up being traded to Comercial de Ribeirão Preto in 1978, where he scored another goal in official matches.[5] Ortiz ended his career in 1980 at SER Caxias.[6]
