[edit] Career

After playing for local clubs, he joined IFK Göteborg in 1997, the club he played for until January 2008. He scored his first league goal for IFK Göteborg on May 7, 2007, against Örebro SK. The remarkable goal, a rabona kick from outside the penalty area, is by most experts seen as a candidate for the best goal of the year in Sweden. The English newspaper The Sun even went as far as calling it the best goal ever. In December 2007 he was signed by Swiss side FC Zürich on a 4-year-contract. Andrés Vasquez has been called up to the Peru national football team for a friendly with Costa Rica on March 26 by José del Solar. However, at the end, Vasquez, resigned to the call of the coach.
