Club career[]

Luis Ángel Mendoza made his debut with UANL on February 18, 2010 against Santos Laguna, coming on as a substitute. He played in five more games, starting once and afterwards he was sent to Ascenso MX club La Piedad. For the Apertura 2012, Mendoza signed with San Luis.

Club América[]

His consistency and good performances earned the attention of América, whom he eventually signed for prior to the Apertura 2013 tournament. Mendoza made his debut on July 31, 2013 against León, and eventually became an undisputed starter in the club's starting-eleven. His best performance of the tournament came on August 24 against Morelia, where he scored a brace and had an assist in América's 3–1 victory in the Estadio Azteca. On December 14, 2014, Mendoza received a red card for mocking his opponents in the Liga MX final against Tigres UANL in which his team won 3–0.[1]

International career[]

In October 2013, Mendoza received his first call up for the national team (managed by former América coach Miguel Herrera) for a friendly against Finland and the two-legged 2014 FIFA World Cup playoff against New Zealand, although he did not play in any of the three matches.
