Alexander Domínguez Carabalí (born June 5, 1987) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Uruguayan Primera División club Cerro Largo and the Ecuador national team.[2]
Club career[]
LDU Quito[]
Domínguez played for L.D.U. Quito from 2006 to 2016, taking over the starting spot from José Francisco Cevallos. He won two Ecuadorian Serie A titles, the 2009 Copa Sudamericana, the 2009 Recopa Sudamericana and the 2010 Recopa Sudamericana .[3]
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.[citation needed] He is nicknamed "Dida", after the Brazilian keeper of the same name.[4]
Monterrey[]
On June 22, 2016, it was confirmed that Domínguez would be joining Monterrey.[5]
Cerro Largo[]
Dominguez joined Uruguayan club Cerro Largo as a free agent on August 20 2021[6]. He played his first league match on September 13, 2021.[7]
International career[]
Domínguez is a former Ecuadorian youth international, who represented the country at the 2007 South American U-20 Championship.[3]
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.[3] 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.[3]
On June 2014, Domínguez was named in Ecuador's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[8] 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.[9]
On June 25, 2014, Domínguez was named Man of the Match vs. France in 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.[10][11][12]
