Carlos Lopez is a 20 year old goalkeeper at Club Tijuana. He's been there at least a couple of years and has been documented in the YAs at Tijuana thread, but it's time that he received his own independent thread. Why? Because he's making his first team debut for Tijuana tonight in a Copa MX match against Toluca. http://www.lacopamx.net/cancha/jugador/91070/carlos-antonio-lopez-cortez DOB: July 16, 1996 Born in California He didn't play much in 2014-15 according to his Liga MX profile, nor did he play much in the 2015 Apertura. Last spring in the Clausura, he split his time between Tijuana's Segunda Division team and their U20 team and started for Tijuana U20 throughout the Clausura playoffs.
From Orange, CA -- just like Michael Orozco. If I remember correctly, Orozco played some with the Tijuana U-20's last season, so they were likely in the same lineup.

Lopez finished the 2016 Apertura with six starts for the U20s and two starts for the first team in Copa MX (a first team debut). He also made the bench in three early-season Liga MX matches.
It looks like he's going on loan to Dorados, AKA Sinaloamerica with Lopez, Moreno, Requejo, and Arce Jr. (and previously Corona) all on loan from Tijuanamerica.
Good to see him get the start in goal in the season opener. 3-2 win for Dorados. #DORvsUAEM¡Así saltamos a #LaPecera para enfrentar a @PotrosUAEMFC! ¡Vamos con todo! 🙌🏽#MiOrgulloEsDorado pic.twitter.com/i8I39k6tQf— Dorados (@Dorados) July 23, 2017

Still with Dorados. On the bench for their Copa MX game going right now. In the Apertura he had 3 appearances (2 starts) in the league and 3 starts in the Copa MX. @bungadiri Carlos Lopez at Tijuana (on loan with Dorados)

Currently sin registro. During the 2018 Clausura he made 4 starts with the Dorados Liga Premier team.
Most Liga Premier teams haven't had their rosters updated on the database yet because the season doesn't start until late August. I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up on Tijuana's third division squad, or maybe somewhere else.
