Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in Tarija, Cardozo was a Club Bolívar youth graduate. In the 2008 summer he moved to Israel second division side Ironi Ramat HaSharon, making his senior debuts for the latter in the campaign.
Bolívar
[edit]In July 2009 Cardozo returned to Bolívar, but only appeared rarely for the club during his first year. On 17 May 2010 he scored his first goals, netting a brace in a 2–2 draw against Aurora.[1]
Cardozo was an undisputed starter in 2010 appearing in 47 matches and scoring nine goals. He was also a part of the squad in the 2011 and 2012–13 winning campaigns, always as a first-choice.
In August 2012 Cardozo was due to join Russian Premier League's FC Alania Vladikavkaz, but the deal collapsed.[2] On 22 October 2014, after scoring in a 6–1 home routing over Club Deportivo San José, he harassed Bolívar's assistant manager Vladimir Soria,[3] and was later suspended by the club.[4]
On 13 January 2015 Cardozo moved to Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, for six months.[5]
International career
[edit]Cardozo represented the Bolivia under-20 side at the 2009 South American Youth Championship, appearing in a 1–4 loss against Paraguay and a 1–5 loss to Brazil as Bolivia finished last in their group.
Cardozo made his debut for the main squad on 11 August 2010, starting in a 1–1 friendly draw against Colombia.[6] He was also named in Gustavo Quinteros' 23-man squad for 2011 Copa America, but appeared in only one match in the competition.
Cardozo scored his first international goal on 2 September of the following year, netting his side's second in 2–2 draw against Peru.[7]
As of 1 June 2016, he has earned 37 caps, scoring 5 goals[8] and represented his country in 17 FIFA World Cup qualification matches.[9]
